thread_title:  Pelevin was an aeronautical Engineer 

message: I'd like to see a proof confirming wheather Pelevin is or is not a Buddhist. The current version of the article does not provide any support for the above statement. Therefore, it should be removed, I think.
From reading his books it seems more likely that Pelevin is either agnostic or atheist though I could be wrong.
*from his interview on artbomb:
First of all, I can't really say I study Buddhism. I'm not a Buddhologist. I can't even say I'm a Buddhist in the sense of rigidly belonging to a confession or a sect, following rituals, et cetera.
:I returned the statement:
:Pelevin frequents budhist monasteries and introduces into his work concepts of Zen Budhism (e.g. Buddha's Little Finger/Чапаев и Пустота).
:It does not say that Pelevin is a proper Budhist (observing the rites etc.). Maybe "frequents" is an overstatement.
:: I agree with you that it's definitely an overstatement. That's why you should NOT include it in the text of the article.--C1010 04:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  "...он [Пелевин] преподносит буддизм как н е г а т и в н о е, а не позитивное учение." (...he [Pelevin] presents Buddhism as a negative, not positive, teaching). Please read the article you site fully, for I think there may be some wishful thinking on your part and rush to conclusions. Besides, whatever Getmanskij says is secondary, it's just his personal opionion about Pelevin and his works, and probably is worth as much as your opinion or mine.--C1010 04:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

That is the literary supertask of Victor Pelevin - bring to the readers news about budhist liberation of cognition and the tenets of Budhism)". MGTom 02:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
