Wooden sculpture of Mahākāśyapa
- ... that Mahākāśyapa (pictured), a prominent disciple of the Buddha, was known for his compassion for the poor? Source: "I showcase the socially conscious begging practices of the saint Mahakassapa as seen through the eyes of redactors working in Pali and Sanskrit. This Buddhist saint shows a pattern of taking food from impoverished, unfortunate donors so as to vanquish their bad karma and help them to achieve a better rebirth." (Wilson 2003, p.57)
- ALT1:... that Mahākāśyapa (pictured), a prominent disciple of the Buddha, has been described as representing the "rough ascetic spirit" of early Buddhism? Source: "L'esprit monastique exigeait d'autres vertus du chef de la Congrégation: une dureté qui punit les transgressions, une rude énergie d'ascète" (Analayo 2016, p. 172, note 75;Przyluski 1926, p. 297)
- ALT2:... that according to numerous Sanskrit, Chinese and Southeast Asian texts, Mahākāśyapa (pictured) left his body in suspended animation, to see the future Buddha? Source: numerous, see article

Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. AGF on foreign language source. I think ALT2 is the most interesting of the bunch. Ping me when you've completed the QPQ and I'll pass this nom. Morgan695 (talk) 23:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Morgan. Great that you have taken the time to take a look at this huge article. I'll get to QPQ ASAP.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 14:07, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

- Hi, I came by to promote this, but the QPQ is not a full review, just a discussion about hook wording. Can you supply another QPQ please? Yoninah (talk) 21:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah, my review was complete, but the nominator and me were not able to come to an agreement, why is why I asked other editors to get involved.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 11:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
