Abundant Treasures and Many Treasures edit
Prabhūtaratna is translated as "Many" or "Abundant" Treasures by distinguished sources. I think it will be helpful to list both. BrandenburgG (talk) 05:58, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
New section proposal edit
I think this article will profit from adding a new section. Right now the contents of the chapter are combined with various commentaries about their meaning.
I think we should sort this onto two sections. The narrative of the chapter should remain in "In the LS." The various commentaries should be moved to a new section called "Commentaries" or "Interpretations."
Any thoughts? BrandenburgG (talk) 02:55, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
- I think this is an option. There is room for improvement. JimRenge (talk) 17:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- @JimRenge, can you take a peak and look at the article now? Please share your thoughts. Also, at some point when there is some consensus, I'd like to remove the tag.

- I like the new lead section. The use of religious texts as primary sources (sutra/Reeves, Kato; WND, the introduction, notes and glossaries in LS translations may be a secondary source) without referring to secondary sources that critically analyze them should be avoided. "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." We need more independent scholarly sources and interpretations.

- Gotcha. Will work on this some more. Thanks for your assistance.BrandenburgG (talk) 15:25, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
Samantabhadra Meditation Sutra. edit
Need some help. There are plenty of references to Prabhutaratna in the LS. I can't find references to him in Samantabhadra Meditation Sutra. Let's try to source this or remove the reference to this for the time being. A temporary solution would be to mention his presence in the "Three-fold LS" which includes the Samatabhadra.

- Thank you, @JimRenge. I also tightened the narrative and added a section called "Applications." Please advise. Also, I do not want to singlehandedly remove the 2011 tag. But in my estimation, although this is a short article, it is of appropriate length and quality to warrant removal.
