message: The article on Gautama Buddha says that it took him 49 days of meditating to obtain enlightenment, however the History section of this article says that it only took 3 days, Is there a mistake or am I mixing things up? 81.137.148.225 14:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The biographical section under History needs editing and hyperlinking. Even the spelling is not consistent, so it wasn't clear to me at first that these events happened at Bodh Gaya. That should be the main emphasis of this section: what happened here, not doctrine. Mdmcginn (talk) 22:24, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

message: The article currently says "obtained enlightenment". This word says that enlightenment is an object that Buddha came into possession of, with an implication that he received it from someone else, possibly for a price. This doesn't seem consistent with Buddhism to me.
The word more commonly used is "attained", which has a meaning close to "reached". This has no connotations of commerce.
If you really do mean "obtained" rather than "attained", you owe an explanation of how much it cost Buddha to purchase Enlightenment, and who was selling it.
Any such explanation is, in my opinion, likely to be laughable to most Buddhists. 203.116.192.194 (talk) 14:33, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
