I'm assuming this is the same as Klesha, in which case the list includes not only incorrect terms, but incorrect definitions. Lobha is not greed, it's self-love. Moha is greed, not Avidya. Further, the term most properly used in the Kleshas is not Doha, but Krodha for hatred and/or anger. Corrections should certainly be made. --hidoshi@hidoshi.com 15:50, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re-organize material per timeline and sects?

I'd like to:

  1. move the Pali literature material to the top of this article
  2. re-organize the remaining sections (3 Poisons, 5 Poisons, 6 Defilements of Vasubandhu) under a sectional heading of something like "Mayahana contexts"

I think this would be helpful for a number of reasons including:

  1. from a holistic standpoint, it would likely provide a better explanation for the reader on the term's historical evolution
  2. I believe that it would help Theravada-oriented readers find material pertinent to their worldview and Mahayana/Vajrayana-readers find material pertient to their worldview

Would anyone rationally object to this? Thanks for any civil feedback, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 03:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

It's been over a week and no one's objected so I'm gonna implement this change momentarily. If you disagree with this change, please discuss further here. Thanks so much, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 05:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
