[[arahant]]

Oh no not at all. The point pertains to how you can use it and is essential to understanding of what the connotations are. Quite different than these expansive encyclopedistic ramblings. If I don't convince you I am OK agreeing to disagree. Maybe it should be reverted but in a more concise manner? Geof Bard 19:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'll agree that you can add it back because you probably know better than me that it's relevant. It should probably read more like a usage note, however, stating that the word is more common in Theravada circles than Mahayana ones, if that's what you mean to say.

Yes precisely. More in use and BTW, more highly esteemed; Mahayanists think it is of greater merit to defer full arahantship in favor of altruistic endeavor.

Okay. Would you like to do the honours? I have to leave right now. And link to this thread in your edit summary too for other people to see.
