Talk:Kalyāṇa-mittatā

message: I would apriciate it if someone with more knowledge than me would take a look at the article. I know a bit about this subject, and found out some stuff on the internet, but I think that it is still quite incomplete. Thanks, Thε Halo Θ 13:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I added some sources from the Pali Canon and broadened some of the introductory material accordingly.  FWIW, as to what might exist elsewhere in the canon and what developed between canonical times and the FWBO, I'm unsure, so I've left the remainder of this article intact -- not out of implicit approval but out of my own vast ignorance.

message: This should be disambiguated.  Spiritual Friendship is also a text from the 12th century by Cistercian monk Saint Aelred of Rievaulx[]. Drwilltx 03:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a recent contributor to this article, it would be fine with me.  I'd like to suggest that we either move this article to "Spiritual friend (Buddhism)" or, my preference, to "Kalyana mitta."  Perhaps we could contact the originator of this article for their view?

replies: text: Well, this is gonna be easier than I thought: on May 1, 2007, the original editor, User:The Halo, departed WP permanently.  Golly!  Let's leave this request here for a week and then, if no one objects, I'll move the current article to kalyana mitta (which is very Buddhism specific and which is also where I think it might be first looked for by practicing Buddhists.)  Okay? Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 01:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been a week and no one's complained so I'm gonna use the move function to move this current article to Kalyana mitta.  (Once moved, I'll do some wordsmithing of the first paragraph to reflect the new article title.)   After the move, this article can be made into a dab page to reference Saint Aelred's text as well.

message: In April 2007, the following section was tagged with "citation needed":
:The husband and wife relationship
:The concept of Spiritual friendship is considered an important aspect of the husband and wife relationship within Buddhism. By forming a spiritual friendship with the partner, a couple not only shares love, but also common goals and ideals, which aid the pair in reaching a constructive relationship. This is much the same principal as the Teacher/Student spiritual friendship.
It's been seven months and no citation has been provided for this text; so, today I deleted it.  If a citation can be provided, please feel free to restore to its previous location.  Thanks!  With metta, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 19:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
