modern views section[edit]

Added Shamar Rinopoche's book, contemporary book about reforming government corruption.Badabara (talk) 04:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Separation of church and state[edit]

I think it's valuable to consider examples where Buddhism and Statehood were not separated. Tibet's longstanding Feudalistic society with Monastic power is a history we don't want to repeat.Badabara (talk) 05:20, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

restructuring for readability[edit]

I made changes to the page. Restructured categories and edited grammar to make the page concise and readable. Let me know if there are changes I made that you don't agree with. Badabara (talk) 18:01, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is this?[edit]

"Though some historic Buddhist societies have been categorized as feudalistic, the relationship between peasants and land owners was often voluntary. Free-thinking Buddhist societies supported autonomy; peasants had mobility and could own land themselves."

It's basically saying, "even though many early buddhist societies are classified as feudalistic, they actually had qualities of Democracy". Badabara (talk) 03:40, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Peasants having mobility and owning land is not democracy. 216.8.174.241 (talk) 11:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
