I removed your edits because I do not agree with many of them, and I would like to discuss them with you.

The words Buddha and buddha do not mean the same thing. It's wrong to capitalize buddha. Buddha is Gautama, a buddha is an illuminated person.

Replacing gods with deity is fine, so I didn't revert that, although I don't understand why it's important. My references use the term gods. And this is the OED's definition: deity |ˈdēitē| noun ( pl. -ties) a god or goddess (in a polytheistic religion): a deity of ancient Greece.

But it shouldn't be capital because I have never seen it capitalized in specialized books or Wikipedia, and because this isn't a religious trait. You do not always capitalize it yourself. In any event, if you capitalize deity, you should at least do it consistently, and not just about half of the time.

You use the term Pure Land for paradise without explaining what it is, if it is relevant to schools other than Pure Land and do not provide a link.

Deleting sentences is the most drastic form of editing, and the real reason I undid your work. If you want to delete some sentences, you must explain why and give good reasons. The sentence about fishing you deleted is important, and as a matter of fact it's the subject of an entire chapter of the Teuween/Breen book. The last sentence replaces something two world class experts said with something you made up. What you wrote isn't referenced and is unclear. I would like to know why you deleted that sentence.

One last thing: deleting the last sentence you damaged the ==Note= section title: please be careful. urashimataro (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
