Talk:Buddhist Philosophy

Does anyone know which Guenther book this comes from: (my copy is flawed)

"Kun-tu bzang-po, without ever having done the slightest good, has realized Buddhahood by recognizing the three facets of Being for what they are. The sentient beings in the three realms, without ever having done any evil, roam about in Samsara by not having recognized the three facets for what they are.  They roam about in Samsara because they have failed to recognize reality to be open-dimensional, experience to be radiant, and responsiveness to be the unity of presence and openness." MKha-gro snkying -thig   Translated by Herbert Guenther.

Merger disccussion
Oppose. In Buddhism, particularly, practice and philosophy are distinguished. If someone wants to write a practice manual that is a great idea and we could bear several based upon different schools of thought in Buddhism. The same could be said for philosophy. We should not ever delude ourselves into thinking that any given topic can only support one single comprehensive wikibook when several would better match the variety of approaches and perspectives on a given topic.

Small font makes this book unreadable
I can't read the font, I don't have glasses available and am not inclined to fiddle with my computer settings. Can we not have small font in any books on wikibooks? It is sure to drive our readers, and editors, away. IMO. Geofferybard (discuss • contribs) 23:45, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Recent deletion.
Comparing revered spiritual figure to despised disease carrying pests? This should not be a controversial deletion. Imagine similar application to Abrahamic faiths....Would result in riots, etc. It is very POV to suggest that Buddhas are comparable in this manner I find it appalling that anyone would open the topic with that kind of rubbish. And it does not change things if one drums up some quote from some suitably "foreign" source...Policyharmonization (discuss • contribs) 18:07, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
