Armed Conflict and Proselitization

 * Well, if you have material, try to improve the article while it is on AfD, so to show: it is informative, it is not an Original research, it is encyclopedic. If the article improves, the voters would change their mind. abakharev 23:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Notes:

Please help to translate this pali-language sentence into English
Hello, Whitesurf. Sorry for interrupting you! I am a Chinese-wiki editor, today I uploaded a file on wiki-common:, which is an important Pili-language sentence that results in the early divide of Buddhism (Theravada and mahasamghika). One of my friend insisted that this words shouldn't be said into Mahaparinibbana Sutta; however, I found this word from Pali's maha-parinibbana-suttanta. Since both of us don't know pali-language, I may need your help on translate this sentence. ( I consider it is: "Do not lay down that which has not been laid down; Do not eliminate that which has been laid down." ) Thanks for any response! I really appreciate your help!-- Walter Grassroot  | talk~talk~talk~  06:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
