To glassFET: You'll notice that this is in the Wike Project 'Buddhism'. I see absolutely no benefit in not having it in the 'Buddhism' category. As I said before, the article is crying out for substantive additions by people who actually know something about the subject matter, but not for this kind of stupid and pointless dinking around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.229.11.118 (talk) 06:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Please read the notice on Category:Buddhism, which reads "This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should list very few, if any, article pages directly and should mainly contain subcategories. Articles in this category should be moved to subcategories where appropriate."

I'll leave it to you to correct your error. GlassFET 16:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Motivational Training"

I started a subheading that is the same as this article in the Tibetan Buddhism article. The subheading is called "Motivational Training". (Of the various words for "mind" in Tibetan Buddhism, lo in lojong has the connotation of motivation.) Then I realised it is here already.

These are the subheadings I was going to use there:

• lineages of motivational training - origins in sutra, Bodhicaryavatara, etc - Kadampa, prominent exponents
• features of motivational training
• method of motivational training

Does anyone have a view on this? Does anyone object to "motivational training" being added to the translation of "lojong", as well as the usual "mind training"? Are there things about lojong that are not motivational training?
