[edit] Some requests

I suspect the current Jonang comment should be tempered or extended based on the content on the Jonang article. Also, how about the three natures contrasted with the two truths, this seems like a good place to make that comparison of view. I've always read the svatantrika view as more of a three natures presentation: though a slightly different one than the later yogacara usage. Might be worth separating an entire three natures article out that describes the evolution of that view as presented in the doxology. Right now it's just discussed on the yogacara article but comparing the svatantrika and sautrantika take on the three natures could occur there. Anyone have thoughts on that? or counter arguments? - Owlmonkey (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

One editor has been especially interested in associating Jonang with Svatatrika. Is there any good evidence (read: published scholarly material) to support this identification? I am by no means an expert, and might well be ignorant of some important research in this area. On the other hand, if no such citations are forthcoming, then we should assume this to be speculation.
I tried to relegate Jonang material into a section marked "parallel debates," but it seems to have crept back into the introduction. --Dawud —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.167.175.248 (talk) 08:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
