message: The Japantown pagoda has to stay, even though it is not a Nipponzan Myohoji stupa. It is generally known in Frisco as the Peace Pagoda.  --Concrete Cowboy 15:43, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't the mandir at Dhauli Giri also a peace pagoda? It looks very similar to the ones pictured here, plus I swear that the signs there said it was one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.215.129.142 (talk) 08:44, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it is possible. But remember that there are many stupas in the world, but only a few were built for the peace campaign. So you need to gather the evidence to proves its origins before you can add it. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

text: So that is a good citation! Add it! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:10, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

message: An editor added 'Shanti Stupa' as an equivalence of Peace Pagoda, because we already have an article called Shanti Stupa that refers to one specific stupa, not a class of stupas, so I reverted. Of course it may be that that one name is a simple English/Japanese translation of the other? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:07, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi John. Shanti Stupa is an alternate name given to modern Peace Pagodas (at least those associated with Nipponzan Myohoji) in India/Nepal and Sri Lanka. A quick definition of shanti would be inner peace, and stupa and pagoda are roughly equivalent. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanti_Stupa , which associates the term with one of the eight (I believe) Shanti Stupas created by the vision of Nichidatsu Fujii in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. See also http://shantistupa.org/ which discusses the Delhi Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda); the photo at upper right of this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajgir shows the Rajgir Shanti Stupa (Peace Pagoda); and the Shanti Stupa Dhauli Giri: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Dhauli-Giri-Shanti-Stupa-Bhubaneswar-Orissa.jpg All of them are listed on this page as Peace Pagodas as well. So the pages that list one single location as "the Shanti Stupa" are incorrect. There are several. Marilyn @MLangfeld @marilynsview 20:33, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shanti Stupa v Peace Pagoda 

message: I almost 'corrected' the term "Peace Pagoda" to the lowercase form "peace pagoda" on another page, because I assumed it was incorrect, but I see that it's capitalized the former way here.  Is it a proper noun?  Is it in fact proper to capitalize it?  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 19:22, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that capitalization is appropriate because it is a major concept. To say "this stupa is a peace pagoda" does not convey the same meaning as "this stupa is a Peace Pagoda", because the form term is similar to "this stupa is gold" whereas the latter is saying that the stupa has been explicitly dedicated to the cause of World Peace [there, I did it again].  --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:45, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh, that makes sense! I think, in that case, there is some work to do on World peace to get it all consistent and in order. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 20:30, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I reverted this good faith addition because it does not appear that the stupa at the monastery is a Peace Pagoda. All peace pagodas are stupas but not all stupas are peace pagodas. If a reliable source can be found to say it is, then please reinstate citing that source. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
