O.K. PL has 21 Precepts, but also has 21 Principles, which should also be listed.
.
The last change to the article was a matter of translation differences. I think it's better this way, but
the 21 Precepts were written in Japanese, so there isn't a big difference between "grasp" and "comprehend,"
for example. The business about a "way" for every "name" is in philosophical disagreement with the Marxist
idea of dialectical materialism. I'm not sure the religion is large enough, though, to warrant an extensive
investigation of its beliefs and activities. Wowest (talk) 05:31, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted to the previous version, because it was supported by the ref cited, whereas the change wasn't. You can certainly add a more detailed analysis of their beliefs, but you need to cite refs for that. I have looked for more detail and criticisms too, but got stopped by the lack of available refs out there. - Ahunt (talk) 13:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Once again IP editors have been changing the precepts without citing a ref. The cited ref does not support these changes. If you want to change what the text says you have to cite a newer or more reliable ref that supports the changes. - Ahunt (talk) 13:50, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
