The five trees in paradise
The five trees in paradise that do not change summer or winter reflects the Buddhist realisation that pure awareness (the five senses prior to thought), arises equally regardless of the conditions, illustrated here by summer and winter. It is interesting to note that in Buddhism, there is a sixth sense which is mind/thought, which also arises equally regardless of the subject matter of thought. 2A02:C7F:70E5:E400:75D4:896A:620A:1C06 (talk) 11:44, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

edit summaries
text in edit summaries is easily lost - best to leave explanations in the talk page of the relevant article - edit summaries are not designed to be easily accessible in volume - talk pages are designed for that JarrahTree 14:25, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

The other problem is that the items you quote in the edit summary do not appear to be cited in the article, so not only is the summary lost once an article develops its history - the actual items you quote/utilise do not appear to be in the bibliography or notes of the article...

 * I was being thorough to avoid someone mistaking it for an arbitrary deletion or vandalism; I didn't add it to the talk page because I doubt anyone will dispute the change. If anyone were to dispute it, I could easily copy my comments from the summary to the talk page and elaborate if needed; after-all, I know exactly where I put the relevant summary. Explaining the change on the talk page rather than the edit summary separates the revision from the explanation, making it far easier to lose it: it may be archived, someone may simply not think to check the talk page, or even if they do check they might miss it in the noise.
 * As for the citations I referenced, they were in the previous revision. I removed them from the current revision along with the material they belonged to; they never belonged in the article in the first place, as explained in the summary. Both the material and the citations can easily be recovered by anyone by simply opening the revision preceding mine. I'm not sure why you went looking for them in the current version anyway; I thought the implication that I deleted them was clear enough in my summary. - Scyrme (talk) 15:33, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There are very few editors (from what I can see in the range of edits in anything to do with the range of associated terms and language issues) who would have the dexterity to read between edits that you are assuming they would have to keep up with you. Assumptions about knowledge in the area, or the relative silence of anyother editors in the areas that you edit may be comforting to you - as your edit history shows - however your talk page archiving process has close to something surreal or monty python to it - as you seem to assume that temporal issues are in no way linear.  Have a very safe new year and enjoy, by the nature of your answer, I suspect you could explain to anyone that white is black,or something similar! enjoy... JarrahTree 15:45, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
