[edit] Sourcing?

• Please source your quotations. Including the name of the author is not all that helpful (although it is better than nothing). If at all possible, include the name of the author, the name of the text, and a brief description of the context, especially if the source is a commentary or an academic work (and not a Buddhist primary source itself).
• Preferably, this article would separate primary sources (i.e., texts intended to be Buddhist teachings) and secondary sources (i.e., texts about Buddhism, commenting on Buddhism). But, considering the enormity of the current article and the lack (in most places) of any sort of reference that would lend itself to verification and proper sourcing, I am at a loss as to where to begin.

[edit] Cleanup

I've done a little work on arranging and formatting the quotes. There is a lot more that needs to be done which I'll try to get to as time permits. I have to go offline for a bit and didn't want anyone to think I'm satisfied with the present page. This is a quoteworthy subject and one I'm interested in, I'll see what I can do... --Bradeos Graphon 01:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
