Hello I noticed that you have revirted a edit that I have recently made. Maybe we shouldn't look at expounding the header and introduction of the page to highlighting mater's of merit that are relivent to the culture that is reading it. This is the buitiful way the Daharma transforms for the time and

I am wishing to add a section of misappropriation of merit. Within Buddhism there is a term called Merit Stealing that is used by lay people. I do not see why I would be blocked from this additional information being added, as if we look at a similar page on Vertue it is rife with non substantiated

Content-wise, I have always tried to show all views with regard to the role and meaning of the concept of merit in Buddhism. I do not believe I have have left anything out, and you will find many sections that discuss criticism and counter-views. With regard to the research I did to write this

I'm starting this review now, please reply to my comments below as you continue to work on the article so we can keep a good record of the communicaiton flow. Thank you for working so hard editing this article. I'll try to keep my review organized using the same headers as in the article.

Merit Stealing is a colloquial Buddhist term for a individual, organisation or culture that takes the good merit from another and purportes and presents it as their intention, initiative in substatial or non-substantial form for personal or cultural gain, power or recognition of Virture
1122:, it is very kind of you to take upon yourself such a large article. I am still a bit dissatisfied as to its final form, so I am happy to hear your comments and would appreciate it if we can get it to GA. I will be a bit busy today, but I will try to get to applying your feedback asap.-- 1688:
Your initial discussion on merit makes it sound like this term is no longer used within Christianity. I suggest you reword the sentence and change "latter part of the twentieth century gradually been used" to "latter part of the twentieth century, also been used" or something similar.

I have now added some phrases to explain that these are different main schools of Buddhism, and have also tried to clarify from the start that Pali Buddhism is Theravada Buddhism. I have also added examples of countries when I mention the main schools for the first time. Will this be

Several different forms of Budhism (Mahāyāna, etc.) are mentioned throughout the article but it is hard for the reader to follow how everything is interconnected. Perhaps a sub-section within "definition" that introduces these different forms would be helpful.

I have removed the Wikiprojects Hinduism and Jainism here, since I don't believe that this article is in anyway meaningful to these projects. Besides, there already is an article on the Hinduist concept of merit, as specified in the disambiguation hat in the
