Talk:Kṣitigarbha

message: I have read that Jizo's stick is meant for awakening people. However, I do not know the authenticity of this statement, so I request that someone with the knowledge either make a change on the page or erase this comment. Thank you.
It should be made clear that Ksitigarbha is not the judge of Hell, Yama, which many uninformed Buddhists, Taoists, and those who believe in Chinese folk religion, see Ksitigarbha as. Bias, much? --Tydaj 16:40, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I will move the article to Ksitigarbha. The current title Jizo is the Japanese name of the bodhisattva, which is somehow misleading and neglecting its Chinese counterpart.
:Is Ksitigarbha really less neglectful? Well, possibly. - Nat Krause 28 June 2005 17:57 (UTC)
::Take Bodhisattva for example. We don't put it in Bosatsu or Pusa because Bodhisattva is what it is called in its place of origin. -- G.S.K.Lee 29 June 2005 10:18 (UTC)
:::As a counter-example, one could look at [{Zen]], which we have under the Japanese name because that is by far the most common in the West. - Nat Krause 30 June 2005 16:13 (UTC)
On a different matter entirely: where is this divine punishment upon the fetus coming from? Spiraling 19:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title Change 

message: I think it needs to be made clear that the information in the section realting to Japan should be labelled as popular beliefs rather than any grounded Buddhist thought.  Also, there needs to be greater emphasis on his 'Buddhist' aspect rather than separating the page into the countries he is venerated in.

message: Under “In Popular Culture” it says the Tanuki Suit lets Mario become a statue in Super Mario Bros. 3. Not only is that completely wrong, but the suit doesn’t even have anything to do with this article. It lets him fly and is based off a creature in Japanese mythology. I see no reference for this false information either. 
I can’t really provide any references for my statement here, besides saying I’ve played SMB3 a lot and I’ve both seen and used the Tanuki Suit. But it’s not hard to find evidence either. Do a quick Google or YouTube search and voila.
- CradMoos, just a random passerby who made an account specifically to see if anyone was talking about this issue, and if not then to start it up, but isn’t comfortable taking out an entire section of an article CradMoos (talk) 09:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
