Separation of church and state
editI think it's valuable to consider examples where Buddhism and Statehood were not separated. Tibet's longstanding Feudalistic society with Monastic power is a history we don't want to repeat.Badabara (talk) 05:20, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
restructuring for readability
editI made changes to the page. Restructured categories and edited grammar to make the page concise and readable. Let me know if there are changes I made that you don't agree with. Badabara (talk) 18:01, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
What is this?
edit"Though some historic Buddhist societies have been categorized as feudalistic, the relationship between peasants and land owners was often voluntary. Free-thinking Buddhist societies supported autonomy; peasants had mobility and could own land themselves."
