The article is now inserted into Refugee (Buddhism) article as a major section. The previous version of the article was lost because it was not placed in Buddhist theology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vapour (talk • contribs) 14:42, 13 Apr 2006

NB: this article is within the purview of Dharmic Traditions and not just Buddhism.

I made a note about this on the Hinduism WikiProject. Hopefully, someone can fix this. [1] ☯ Zenwhat (talk) 19:03, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wording

Terms like 'buddhadharma' and 'buddhavaccana' while certainly well attested and appropriate in some fora are not appropriate tone for an encyclopedia article. Try to stick to terminology that is accessible to *all* readers and which facilitates the easy finding of information (which is, presumably, the purpose of writing such an article in the first place). For the latter reason in particular, I'd put forth that the article should be renamed to Sraddha (Buddhism) with Sraddha (Buddhadharma) a redirect, if anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.46.253.42 (talk) 18:19, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

cryptic Yamamoto citations

There are a number of citations to a work by Yamamoto, but it is not clear what work they refer to. Finally, this work is cited:

The Words of St. Rennyo: Complete Translations of the Rennyoshonin-Goichidaiki-Kikigaki and the Anjinketsujosho, tr. and annotated by Dr. Kosho Yamamoto, The Karinbunko, Tokyo, 1968, p.158

but it is not clear if that applies to the previous citations or is a new one. (It looks like a new one from the content of the text.) Moonsell (talk) 09:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC) Sorry. Found the reference after all, in the " Literature" section at the end. Moonsell (talk) 10:00, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Faith (śraddha) in Hinduism

Not sure what this last section is doing in this article, however poetic. It doesn't seem to relate to the rest coherently. Moonsell (talk) 11:01, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blind Faith

The Kālāma Sutta never mentions faith, let alone blind faith.

In fact if you look closely at the Canon faith (saddhā) almost always arises upon hearing a dhamma discourse, and never from experience.
