Apologies



Apologies for my harsh responses and criticisms; some of your edits really didn't make sense (Bodhidharma regarded as the founder op Chan-Buddhism in pop-culture, while this is a basic origins-story of the Chan-tradition itself), but I do understand now that your intentions are sincere, and that there are some obstacles with regard to cross-lingual subtleties.
As I wrote on one of the talkpages. John Mcrae's ''Seeing Through Zen''is really recommendable to read. Also Morton Schlutter ''How Zen Became Zen'' is very informative. John McRae is easier to read, but both are very good.

:Thank you for you're kind words Jonathan,My feeling is that robust enthusiastic dialogue is very important. Remembering to keep your equinimity so we can get to the truth. I am still not convinced that the history is correct. But we can work to some common ground through looking through the reference material, thank you once again. 🙏🏼 Foristslow (talk) 21:42, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Venerable Wuling ↗ moved to draftspace



Thanks for your contributions to Venerable Wuling ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it has no sources'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Squawk7700 (talk) 12:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

January 2026



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Venerable Wuling ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you.<!-- User:Zackmann08/uw/Unknown-params-warning --> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 02:09, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
