Using wikipedia talk pages as a forum: Posting walls of text to article talk pages may be seen as disruption, derailing attempts to achieve a consensus. Lengthy monologues exhaust the other editors' patience.

Quotes Quotation from non-free sources may be appropriate when the exact words in the source are relevant to the article, not just the facts or ideas given by the source. Examples may include statements made by a person discussed in the article, brief excerpts from a book described in the article, or significant opinions about the subject of the article. Quotation should not, however, be treated as an alternative to extracting facts and presenting them in plain language. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing/Quotation of non-free text)
 * Limited quotation from non-free copyrighted sources is allowed, as discussed in Wikipedia's non-free content policy and guideline.
 * It is sometimes relevant for an article to include a short quotation such as a significant statement made by the subject of the article or a notable comment about the subject. In these cases a verbatim quotation should be given rather than a paraphrase. Quotations should be used very sparingly and must be clearly identified and formatted as defined in MOS:QUOTE. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing)
 * Redundant quotations from non-free copyrighted sources should be avoided

The article is beginning to look like Wikiquote. Editors should remember that Wikipedia is, at its core, an encyclopedia, and not an opportunity to list the best and worst quotations pertaining to an article's subject. If there are many quotations, please move them to Wikiquote and place a Wikiquote template on the article to inform readers that there are relevant quotations regarding the subject.

Links Disputed links should normally be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

 * "Vijnaptimatrata and the Abhidharma context of early Yogacara", Richard King, Asian Philosophy, vol. 8 no. 1, March 1998, pp. 5–18

Quote King: "In the critique of 'possession' (prapti) in the Abhidharmakosa-bhasya Vasubandhu qua Sautrantika seems to utilise a notion which becomes of crucial importance in the subsequent Yogacara elaboration of the path to liberation, viz. asraya-paravrtti, the conversion of the basis. He states that

Verily, the physical basis of the Noble One has undergone transformation by virtue of the path of vision and the path of cultivation such that those defilements that are allayed no longer have the ability to shoot forth. As rice seeds that are in a non-germinal (or impotent) state, just so one is called a 'destroyer of the defilements' with reference to the defilements of the physical basis (bhutasaraydh). (my italics) [8]

Thus, through the 'conversion of the basis' one may be called a `destroyer of defilements' (prahinaklesa). Vasubandhu also goes on to argue that upon realisation of the supreme goal of yogic attainment (nirodha-samapatti), an untainted stream of consciousness (nirmala santati) is produced:

For the one who has returned from the Path of Vision (darsana-marga), as a result of destroying all of the defilements that can be destroyed by Vision, without remainder, there occurs a fresh stream [of consciousness] that is without blemish and characterized by revulsion of the physical basis [9].

The idea of a `conversion of the basis' asraya-paravrtti), that is a purification of consciousness through the eradication of all defilement (klesa), becomes an important theme in the subsequent development of the Yogacara school. The classical formulations of Asanga and Vasubandhu tend to portray this conversion as a destruction of an essentially phenomenal store-consciousness (alayavijnana), the repository of karmic seeds (bija). However, later interpretations within the Yogacara (for example the work of Paramartha) envisaged this transformation as an eradication of defilements which leaves behind an essentially undefiled consciousness (amala-vijnana). This pure consciousness was seen as the foundation or support (asraya) which originally formed the basis for the activities of the now defunct defilements. On this view, the conversion of the basis no longer means the cessation of the store-consciousness, but rather its transformation and re-turn (paravrtti) to its former pristine condition. This 'pure mind' tradition within Yogacara Buddhism has clear antecedents in early Buddhism [10] and is perhaps best represented in the early Yogacara literature by such texts as the Mahayanasutralamkara. As such it reflects not only the open-endedness (ambivalence?) of many Yogacara terms, but also the assimilation of ideas usually associated with the Mahayana notion of tathagatagarbha [11]. The Abbidharmakosa-bhasya thus provides interesting source-material for all of these subsequent Yogacara developments."

Mohapatra, claims Prof. Freeman, had also written about a stone pillar inscription of King Asoka discovered in Kapileswar in 1928 – which he claims is missing now -- that points to Buddha’s birthplace being in Orissa.

“I went to the Ashutosh Museum in Kolkata where the stone inscription was said to have been kept. People there said they had not heard of any such stone inscription ever. That prompted us to begin our documentary. But when we began visiting sites in Orissa, we realised that there was a much bigger story,” claims Prof. Freeman.

 * EL: Some external links are welcome (see What can normally be linked, below), but it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a lengthy or comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable according to this guideline and common sense. The burden of providing this justification is on the person who wants to include an external link.
 * WP:ELPOINTS: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. (pt. 3)
 * WP:NONENGEL: Outside of citations,[4] external links to English-language content are strongly preferred in the English-language Wikipedia. It may be appropriate to have a link to a non-English-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English; or when the link is to the subject's text in its original language; or when the site contains visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables.
 * External links section (EL): If you link to another website, you should give your reader a good summary of the site's contents, and the reasons why this specific website is relevant to the article in question. If you link to an online article, try to provide as much meaningful article information as possible. Most external links should present different details from citations. For instance, a concise description of the contents and a clear indication of its source is more important than the actual title of the page
 * WP:ELBURDEN: However, the fact that a given link is not actually prohibited by this guideline does not automatically mean that it must or should be linked. Every link provided must be justifiable in the opinion of the editors for an article. Disputes about links can be addressed through the normal dispute-resolution process, particularly at the external links noticeboard.

Disputed links should normally be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

Citing non-English sources[edit] [Verifiability]: Citations to non-English sources are allowed. However, because this is the English-language Wikipedia, English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones, whenever English sources of equal quality and relevance are available. As with sources in English, if a dispute arises involving a citation to a non-English source, editors may request that a quotation of relevant portions of the original source be provided, either in text, in a footnote, or on the article talk page.[10] (See Template:Request quotation.)
