The treatment of transference of merit is very thin. This is a practice with a long history and a central place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayarava ( talk • contribs) 08:01, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Three basses of merit making are disputed according to the teachings of Theravada Buddhism. Preferably adveṣa, alobha, amoha which are opposites of Three poisons are the roots of making Kusala Kamma or the merits. S.B.M. Summon 16:33, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Take a good look at the punctuation throughout; a lot of commas are missing.

Several different forms of Budhism (Mahāyāna, etc.) are mentioned throughout the article but it is hard for the reader to follow how everything is interconnected. Perhaps a sub-section within "definition" that introduces these different forms would be helpful.

Your initial discussion on merit makes it sound like this term is no longer used within Christianity. I suggest you reword the sentence and change "latter part of the twentieth century gradually been used" to "latter part of the twentieth century, also been used" or something similar.

I have added this sub-section of merit stealing, with a link to Virtue to the page.
Merit Stealing is a colloquial Buddhist term for a individual, organisation or culture that takes the good merit from another and purportes and presents it as their intention, initiative in substatial or non-substantial form for personal or cultural gain, power or recognition of Virture Shenqijing ( talk) 03:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
I am wishing to add a section of misappropriation of merit. Within Buddhism there is a term called Merit Stealing that is used by lay people. I do not see why I would be blocked from this additional information being added, as if we look at a similar page on Vertue it is rife with non substantiated
Christian religious information and claims, this is completely understandable, because of the colloquial nature of religious or philosophical information. I will reinstate it now. Shenqijing ( talk) 00:56, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
This is why we are on the he talk page, for descision,I think that it is unnecessary to threaten banning. Please explain that why under the page of vertue, religious information is not supported in the way that you are asking on this religious page that is of similar nature Shenqijing ( talk) 05:44, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Thankyou for your reply, it is going to be good contributing to this page. Amituofo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Shenqijing ( talk) 07:44, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello I noticed that you have revirted a edit that I have recently made. Maybe we shouldn't look at expounding the header and introduction of the page to highlighting mater's of merit that are relivent to the culture that is reading it. This is the buitiful way the Daharma transforms for the time and place. The addition of ways that you can honour another whilst still alive and not deceased would go along to help in these times. The use of a reference that has already been cited would be fine I would think. Look forward to your reply. 🙏🏼 Zongqi ( talk) 04:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Thankyou for your input, I think that if you are going to talk about after death respect of vertue in life would be a good balance to the lead. The yin and the yang. 🙏🏼 Zongqi ( talk) 08:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
