User:Lunarmoon13/Buddhism and Eastern religions/Leon2008cheng Peer Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The bibliography you provided is well-structured. However, there might be room for improvement. In the annotation for the book by Michael D. Coogan, it might be more precise to specify that it will help establish a baseline understanding of Buddhism in the context of other Eastern religions, instead of just saying "in comparison with the others mentioned in this article." If page numbers are relevant, particularly for the first source, it might be helpful to include them.

For the "Taoism" section in your article, the statement "Both Taoism and Buddhism have historically aspired to hold domineering influence over the Indian subcontinent" is sort of misleading. I am an authentic Chinese, Taoism is primarily a Chinese tradition and has not significantly aimed at influencing the Indian subcontinent, unlike Buddhism. This needs correction for geographical and historical accuracy.

Also, the description of Tao as "an all encompassing, formless power" could be expanded to better explain its significance in Taoist philosophy.
