charges made by individuals such as yourself in the abovecited. In answer, I do not have a religion and I do not have a position. You are just wrong and your attribution unfounded. Don't project your seduction by opinions and false charges of original research onto me. Where is your evidence? The grand synthesis I made reference to is about an encycopedic, historical, developmental and inclusive exploration of the technical term "sentient beings", you wantonly misunderstood. What is now evident on the page due to the "consensus" is a generic Western interpretation of the position of the Gelugpa

Moreover, I am going to correct a few links to 'sentient being' and to 'sentient beings' so that they ultimately and correctly lead to 'sentience' or to 'sentient beings (Buddhism)'. -- 437:
I did not participate in the discussion because I was not notified nor invited and was not informed or included in its proceedings. Where is the inclusivity and transparency in that?

think that the current state of this article is beyond hope or salvage, but neither do I think it's clearly headed toward any "grand synthesis" that will be accessible or relevant to the general reader. An article is not the proper place for "scholarly pastiche", wherever you think it's going. That

I only meant that there seemed to be a consensus (not the one I was looking for either) that the article be kept but that it needed fundamental changes in order to become a proper article. However, since the discussion was only open for a day before I withdrew the nomination, perhaps it was not

teachings on Ichinen Sanzen that insentient objects are deemed to be capable of attaining Buddhahood. All the article says is "Japanese and Tibetan Buddhism". Ichinen Sanzen was taught by T'ien-t'ai in his Great Concentration and Insight (Chn. 摩訶止観) before Buddhism came to Japan.

I am somewhat at a loss here, and will have to think about this a bit before commenting at any length. But... B9, to address your question, the discussion that Beeblebrox described (misleadingly, in my opinion) as consensus can be found – and is linked on this page, above – at

The material on Buddha nature in East Asian Buddhism needs expansion. When they say inanimate objects have Buddha nature, what do they actually mean? Do they mean they're sentient beings that will eventually become Buddhas? Or have they changed the

Right, I don't mean to say you were intentionally misleading anyone or anything like that, it just all happened pretty fast. For what it's worth, I think that B9's concern is that the description in the stub primarily reflected the POV of the

I will add in what T'ien-t'ai taught re: the Enlightenment of insentient objects. I don't think that quote from Dogen belongs. A quote from a sutra would be better.
