• Wrong. Created in April 2016 by an IPv6 anon, possibly our supernatural-obsessed UK anon. Appears to be a Buddhist term referring either to one of the five types of seeing (human sight via eyeballs, heavenly sight by heavenly beings, true sight by sages of what is really there, just sight of the bodhisattva, or the view of the world of the Buddha), or to one of the six heavenly or supernatural powers (a.k.a. Abhijñā or "knowing", described in Japanese as teleportation or manifestation, heavenly sight, heavenly hearing, knowledge of one's karmic fate, the ability to know the minds of others, and an end to mental "intoxicants" or karmic debt that might necessitate rebirth). I'm happy to rework as time allows. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 20:15, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

  @Eirikr: so, can the entry be cleaned up or should it just be deleted, in which case, would you care to do the honors / dirty work? - -sche (discuss) 19:48, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not very up on Buddhism, especially the more esoteric Japanese varieties, but I'll have a go at it based on sources to hand. Probably later today or tomorrow. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 22:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

@-sche -- I've reworked the entry. If it passes muster in its current form, let's strike it from this list. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 18:55, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Massively overhauled from what was present when it was RFVed, and therefore struck as resolved. - -sche (discuss) 18:35, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

天眼 can be used metaphorically to refer to surveillance infrastructure- may not have reached the level of adding a new definition --Geographyinitiative (talk) 00:32, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
