[edit]Hi. If you don't know anything about Kalupahana's works or the field of Buddhist scholarship would you please refrain from assuming that he's not important enough to have an article about him and tagging it for speedy deletion! DJ is just his initials - David J, he's not a Disk Jockey DJ! As the stub I wrote said, he's an author, not a musical band. He's written probably about a dozen books and probably many, many articles in academic journals.
I started it because I was looking for a complete list of his books and articles in order to find a reference for a friend, but couldn't find one here or anywhere else so I thought it'd be good to have one on Wikipedia and started the page. If you google 'kalupahana' you'll see there are 25100 results, mostly about him in the first page at least.
His edition and translation of the Mulamadhyamakakarika (Treatise on the Root of the Middle Way) is THE version most often used in undergraduate Buddhist Studies courses all over the English speaking world. He's about as important as you can get within the little world of Buddhist scholarship. Please don't delete this page! --Kester ratcliff (talk) 08:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
