Is Siddhārtha really the first Buddha? I'm certain that it isn't the case and there's other texts that points out so but I'm s bit lacking in this subject so anyone cares to enlighten this? --Bobbagum 07:28, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There have been many Buddhas before Siddhartha and many will come in the future, but Siddhartha is considered the "Historical Buddha" because he gave us the teachings that Buddhists know and practice today. Csbodine 12:22, 19 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Emptiness change

The concept of emptiness is very important in Mahayana Buddhism, but not as important in Theravada Buddhism. I think this article needs to mention emptiness and refer to an article on Mahayana teachings.Erixoltan (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

The intro to the Buddhism article is excellent. It manages to smoothly combine all different perspective on what Buddhism is. There is, however, a minor thing I would suggest changing, ie to change BC, which is the same as AD to BCE (before common era). I would have changed it myself, but don't know how to create a link to BCE page, without which only more mess would be created.

We sometimes decide these things differently from En wiki. Our interest is to choose the form best understood worldwide. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Length of Article change

Hi Wikipedia! I was doing some research on Buddhism that I can summarise into dot points. I went to the Simple English Wikipedia page for Buddhism, but the article was much longer than I had anticipated! As this is the Simple English page, I suggest that the content of this page be reviewed, and the content that is not necessary (for readers who are only attempting to grasp a simple idea of what Buddhism is) be removed.

Buddhism includes a range of views, and so it may not possible to summarise it more briefly. You might point to sections you think are not needed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:06, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
