[Buddha-l] Nirvana si, bodhi no! [was: liturgical languages]

[Peter D. Junger]

"Richard P. Hayes" writes:

: Coming to one's senses is called
: bodhi, often translated as enlightenment (but I, perhaps alone in this
: wilderness, find this a truly repugnant translation fobbed off on us by
: European enthusiasts of the European Enlightenment).

If by this wilderness you mean Buddha-Hell you ain/t alone, although
I am afraid that the villains are anglo speaking enthusiasts for
the term that they invented to describe the Scottish "Enlightenment."
