Talk:Ashtamangala

message: Under the section "Hindu Symbols", both lists start with "The Hindu tradition lists them as:". Is this supposed to be Buddhism, or Jainism, or two specific Hindu traditions?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewmorrone1 (talk • contribs) 19:46, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguous list descriptions 

message: This article deals with two entirely different sets of symbols.  The eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism (which constitute the main part of the article) are already covered in Buddhist symbolism.  I'd suggest a double merger with Buddhist symbolism and Hinduism#Themes_and_symbols. RandomCritic 10:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: before reading the above call to merge, I consolidated the content from Buddhist symbolism here.  Sorry!
I can't speak to the Hindu content, but there is enough significance and complexity to these symbols on the Buddhist side that they truly need their own article.  However that hypothetical article need not have the name Ashtamangala as they are also known as the Eight Auspicious Symbols.  brain 01:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There is also sometimes seen a three part yin/yang within the wheel, red/yellow/blue, what does that signify? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: ''three'' part yin/yang

message: Some of these symbols have a different significance when they are part of the Ashtamangala or "eight auspicious symbols" which is different from their symbolism when they occur as individual symbols - and from when they occur as (phyag mtshan) attributes or symbols in the hands of Buddist or Hindu dieties. I think we should not mix up the meanings. 
 
The wheel in the Ashtamangala is specifically the wheel of sovereignty or the wheel of a chakravartuin - which, in Buddhism, is somewhat different from the Wheel of Dharma. The conch in the the Ashtamangala  is specifically the rigut-turning conch (dakshiniavarta sankha / dung gyas 'khyil) and again the symbolism of this is  different from that of the "white conch" (dung dkar). 
 
Since this particular article is about the Ashtamangala perhaps it would be best to stick to meaning of these symbols within that context.   Chris Fynn (talk) 11:39, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the mentioning of Sikhism from the introduction, as while it comes from India, it is most certainly not a Dharmic religion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.87.114.21 (talk) 19:04, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
