Talk:Buddhism in Central Asia

--Afghanistan--

Untitled

The link provided for the number of Buddhists in Afghanistan does not state anything about the current Buddhist population of Afghanistan. Thus I am removing Afghanistan form the population list as due to personal study and experience I know for a fact that their are no native Afghan Buddhists whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.153.31.221 (talk) 22:19, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Buddhism in Central Asia/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The page initially used pejorative language that is locked into a specific Buddhist school's division and reflection of the other competing schools (e.g., Hinayana). There is very little specific discussion on the times and means in which Buddhisms spread into each part of Central Asia, as well as the specificities that arise from the introduction of Buddhist practices/beliefs and its blend/alteration of indigenous practices/beliefs.

I am going to remove Balkh from one of the sections on "Persian Buddhism" because that area was not Persian speaking in the 1st century CE. The language spoken there at time was Bactrian, an Eastern Iranian language VERY different than Persian altogether. Bactrian was closer to Pashto. I will actually remove the whole section because its completely irrelevant and attracts nationalists.

Akmal94: The Persianzation of Balkh started after the Muslim conquests, that is true. However, don't go and remove loads of sourced information. Instead, change it to Persian->Iranian. EDIT: I've changed it, shouldn't be an issue now. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:38, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Origin of Bodhidharma

Bodhidharma's Persian origins are disputed by scholars of Buddhism, and to the best of my knowledge most have concluded he was in fact Indian. At minimum, this article should address that dispute, which is covered fairly thoroughly in our Bodhidharma article. Laodah 04:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
