Talk:Jieba

untitled
“ Jieba (or jièbā, Chinese: 戒疤[1] "ring scars" or "ordination scars") is an ordination practice where ritual burn scars are received by Buddhist monks of many sects of Buddhism…This practice is very rare…” I find this confusing and perhaps even contradictory: is this ritual practiced by many sects or is it rare? Do any Theravadin monks do this? Also the passive voice and the word repetition of Buddhism and Buddhist is awkward. Perhaps it would be better to say: “Jieba is an ordination practice among Mahayana Buddhist sects where monks receive ritual burn scars.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryguy913 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I think it's even "some" Mahayana sects, or perhaps only certain Chinese ones. It's not many, I'm sure. Secretlondon (talk) 16:29, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have changed the wording to "some" to better reflect this. - Aoidh (talk) 22:04, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
