Talk:The Spider's Thread

Real origin
This page is presented confusingly and, since it is Wikipedia's only source about some story like this, seems to imply to the casual reader that this modern author invented this classic Buddhist parable. I intend to rectify this situation soon (not sure how long it will take me to get around to it, therefore I leave this talk page message as a note to myself and notice to other interested editors). This page will remain largely untouched, I think, I mostly just need to make more pages on the actual topics and link to them. Dingolover6969 (talk) 08:54, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
