[edit] Bodhidharma
- "A monk named Bodhidharma went from Kanchipuram to China and took Buddhist ideas with him.* Chinese culture is based on our tantra and our shastras." - From interview with the Kanchi Shankaracharya
Hope you got something out of these refs.Bakaman Bakatalk 16:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] look
look, i've left that crazy and biased article that you wrote on "indian influence on chinese martial arts" alone but if you continue to edit war on the article that JFD and I have written, i will start to seriously edit that biased article of yours- you and i along with everyone who has seen your article considers the one that you have written to be extremely POV.

[edit] Ayyavazhi
Some members are hell-bent on including Ayyavazhi in the Dharmic religions article. I have myself deleted it a couple of times, but this group props it up again. I don't think its even a religion, but just a small cult. Do you think Ayyavazhi deserves mention as a Dharmic religion ? Please let me know your views. Indian Air Force (IAF)
But Ayyavazhi is too small (even smaller than Osho and ISKCON) and too recent (Sufism is older) to be called a religion. A religion either encompasses a significant majority of the global population and/or has withstood the test of time (like Zoroastrianism).
Ayyavazhi is neither. I seriously think its an attempt to create a separate identity by forming an artificial "religion", in reality its only a cult.
Its the same debate whether Pluto is an asteroid or a planet.
Anyways I respect your opinion. Thanks. Indian Air Force(IAF)

[edit] Thank you ...
Thank you for the barnstar you gave me, as well as for the compliments with which it was accompanied. I appreciate it. Cheers. —Saposcat 15:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- I echo those comments! Best wishes --MichaelMaggs 15:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'd also like to give a big thank you to Freedom skies for the barnstar you gave me. Take care. Jagged 85 05:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I've awarded four people with barnstars till date and three of them respond in the same post!
Jagged 85: I appreciate your extensive, extensive contributions regarding articles related to Indian martial arts including the main article itself, my friend. You found citations and went to lengths that I could honestly not reach in the past but wil make every attempt to learn from your excellent contributions and better myself as an editor in the future. Your contributions are much appreciated by this editor.
MichaelMaggs: If anyone deserves the Barnstar of good humor it's you, my friend. You were the very voice of reason in the process of finding a solution to Bodhidharma. I cannot imagine the process without your contributions and involvement. You also diffused tensions and worked towards ending conflict, with great sucsess. This member of the Wikipedia community is deeply appreiciative.
Saposcat: In the middle of a tiring discussion on Bodhidharma, an editor appears and proposes paragraphs which are not only the part of the solution but are the solution. The editor says "Cheers" and his very opening words lighten up the mood. The editor works extensively on the article and creates a universally acceptable version. I truly am grateful for your contributions, my friend.

[edit] Decline of Buddhism in India -> History of Buddhism in India
Currently, the latter is a redirect to the former. "Decline" sounds more POV and less encyclopedic than "History." In addition, if the name was changed, then the whole history of Buddhism in India can be talked about, which includes than modern revival rather than just the decline. What do you think? GizzaChat © 07:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Good luck on trying to improve the article. I myself have no deep knowledge of Buddhism unfortunately so I doubt that I'll be much help. I just noticed that the article was in a shocking state. Thanks for your birthday greeting too. Its time to get Wikidrunk, whatever that is! GizzaChat © 08:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of Buddhism in India
By the way, where did the text that you added in this edit come from?—Nat Krause(Talk!) 06:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- The article itself looks fine. It's just that, when you use material from other articles, you should state clearly which articles you're using, so their authors can receive fair credit. It also occurred to me that, since the article Buddhism in India is in such a parlous state, we might want to merge History of Buddhism in India into that article.—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 00:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

- You caught me writing a message for the same on the discussion page at that moment. I agree lets work it together, here are my thoughts again:
- Shahis are distinguished by two phases, the Central Asian-Turkic Buddhist lineage and the Brahmin Hindu linegage later, lets make the distinction as it is relevant.
- The Sunga, I know there are two camps, NPOV makes both camps included, and I have tried to include both camps. Note I mentioned that Sungas were seen as more symphathetic, some even called them Buddhist though I have to find the quotes for that. The persecution is based on oral tradition and a particular a historical source, which yes has been labelled exagerrated which is why I put that there, and why I made the section hint at a doubt over the Pusyamitras persecution.
- The sections, I know we can make better arrangements, no real preference, I would just not throw two timelines one of military/political and the other social/idelogical but mix them together into a chronological progression since both facets worked in tandem at all times and not in isolation. This can always be worked out, and as the article develops maybe even a new one will come forth?
- Consider the current form only an outline and the headings as stubs requiring fixing and filling up. Sounds good? I have refrained from adding or removing anything without bringing in sources, and that takes time so it's slow which is good because it gives others time to give imput as well.:)--Tigeroo 13:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
