Talk:Dhammayuttika Nikaya

Untitled
The equation of the Thammayut order and the Thai Forest Tradition is incorrect. While many 20th Century monks of the forest school were ordained (or re-ordained) in the Thammayut order, the two are not synonymous- there are many Thammayut monks who were not disciples of the forest monks (such as Ajahn Mun), and there was certainly no requirement that forest monks be ordained in the Thammayut order. I'll remove the equation of the two from the article. Using the term 'Dhutanga' for all Thammayut monks is also incorrect- this title refers to an ascetic monk who has undertaken one or more of the ten Dhutanga practices, which, again, not all (or even most) Thammayutika did. --Clay Collier 09:20, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Dhammayutika
Here thammayut is pointed as being pali, but the pali term is dhammayutika, which means 'accordingly to the dhamma' (the teaching, rather than 'accordingly to the discipline'( that would be something like vinayayutika or silayutika). Thammayutika is only a thai-sation of dhammayutika, like tudong is of duthanga. Perhaps it would be better to change it to Dhammayut or Dhammayutika James Jasso


 * This article should probably be renamed Dhammayuttika Nikaya, as I think the current title is an unfortunate misspelling. I was unclear as how to transcribe this especially as I have seen both in use, but when I looked for the Khmer transcription, I found ធម្មយុត្តិកនិកាយ or Dhammayuttika Nikāya, and I was unable to find Dhammayutika anywhere. So, I accordingly believe the correct Pali to be Dhammayuttika formed from dhamma + yutti (fit, suitable, in accordance with) + ka (group). Aaron Lee 00:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Requested Move
I have requested this article be moved to Dhammayuttika Nikaya. My reasons are given above, and I believe them to be uncontroversial. If there is an objection to this, please continue the discussion here.
