• ... that the Buddha's Discourse on Removing Distracting Thoughts says that just as a carpenter replaces a "coarse peg with a fine one," one can replace unskilled thoughts with skilled thoughts?

• Comment: Most parts of the Majjhima Nikaya, like this section, are called "Discourses", and I have slightly abbreviated the most common translated name to reduce hook length.

Interesting article on solid sources, offline sources accepted AGF. A few suggestions for the article: no reference is needed for the lead as a summary, all references should go to the body. I would not pipe-link "freedom" to Nirvana, but mention both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Ok, glad it's good to go. FYI, I've implemented the suggestions by eliminating the piping and one redundant content footnote in the lede, and moving the other lede footnote down to the first section. -- Presearch (talk) 18:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
