A stupa is NOT a pagoda. Please wait till I get more proof. Don't add anything until this is resolved- KRS 17:52, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I have a question on the five cosmic elements part.. I see here that it's earth, air, fire, water and space, but in other pages (like here [1] and here [2]) it says that it's wisdom. What is it really? Thanks in advance -- Jenn 05:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
In Khmer (Cambodian) a stupa is called a chedey, which is a structure to store the ashes of the cremated and also Buddhist relics. A prang is a tower like as in the Angkor Wat towers and does not serve the same purpose as a chedey. But some Cambodian stupas do adopt the style of a prang onto a stupa. -- Dara 03:50, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
There's a separate article on chaitya. But this aricle seems to think that's the same thing as a stupa. What gives? - Nat Krause( Talk!) 04:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Is there a way to get rid of the blank white space? I added a picture of the great stupa at sanchi. Tom 04:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
History of the Stupa from Shambala Mountain Center Here it is said that the meaning changed. Austerlitz 88.72.3.224 14:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Why do we have, not one, but two photos of the same structure (and the same example of that structure) that, whereas related, is not a stupa? First of all, one of the photos should go, there's absolutely no need for that (even the article torana has only one photo; and, second, please put one of the beautiful photos in the gallery as the main photo, that's what we're talking about. Third, the torana picture could be in some part of the text, but even then it is only marginally referenced within the text (and, see what, a picture showing the same torana again -this time with the pagoda-, is shown). Please, someone working with this article remove the first two photos and add a more convenient one. Thanks. Nazroon 05:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

For those people visiting Thailand, of which I am sure there many, they will most commonly come into contact with the word "Chedi" which is the Thai (possibly similar in other languages) word for "Stupa". I think it would be a good idea to add this in at the beginning of the article so that it is clear when someone looks it up. Chrisjbrooks ( talk) 02:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Gave this section some much-needed attention. Still lacking in reliable citations. Woodega ( talk) 03:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Under 'Types of Stupas': list item, 'Symbolic stupa - to symbolize aspects of Buddhist theology,...' The use of the word 'theology' here is misplaced. Certainly, he had ideas *about* theology, but those ideas would not have been representative of his thoughts on 'dhamma.' In fact, since most definitions of 'theology' presume an independently existent creator-God, the gautama would by those terms be considered most certainly an atheist. Perhaps the author meant 'cosmology?' Lowjon ( talk) 01:57, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

the claims made that greco buddhist gandhara tower stupa and step pyramids are all influence of greco buddhist architecture is definitely wrong, a multi storied sanctuary depicted in andhra pradesh amaravathi plaque from 2nd cen AD is definitely the inspiration for multistoried pagodas and stepped pyramid shaped buddhist temples. The stepped pyramid stupas predating maurya period for example piprahwa stupa and pre mauryan Vanganga square apsidal stupa remains in udaiygiri hills, rajgir, bihar and the ahichchatra stepped pyramid temple are all precursors to gandhara art.

Why is that Indian things are always considered to be derived By Western historians why are these lines even present Meditaarian never had stupas Bhima Palavīṉamāṉa ( talk) 16:58, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Edit Summary by user:Josepherino: I believe you misunderstood the quotation, it is explaining that long before India used stupas, similar structures could be found in the Mediterranean. And I think the Romans and Alexander would disagree that India didn't exist during this time! India is the appropriate wording here, lets avoid edit warring and make a talk page on this subject.
@Josepherino: by your revert you reintroduced the wrong wording "the India".
The text in the article does not say "in the Mediterranean and in India", as "similar structures could be found in the Mediterranean" suggests, but "from the Mediterranean to India", including the whole area between the mentioned areas.
As far as I can see the name India was created in 1858 by the English. So, in the period before the Buddha that is mentioned in the part of the article that contains the controversial wording, there was no India.
So, I think the revert by Cookersweet was a correct revert (except for leaving "the" in the text). FredTC ( talk) 10:16, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
Forgot about the source but you can find Stupas all over South Asia. So Mediterranean being a region will go better with South Asia which is also a region, instead of going with any country name. Also Wikipedia is for people to understand better and the later term does the work better. Cookersweet ( talk) 15:33, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
I just saw user:Josepherino's edit history and he is doing reckless and disruptive edits. Many of the edits have been undone but he always reverts them to his version.
The user according to me is trying to show Indian or Hindu supremacy through his edits in the articles. Also he have removed texts which shows Hindus and Indians in bad light or show them inferior, even when it contradicts facts or reality.
Also this is my personal opinion but I think his old account must have been blocked, so he made a new account. Thing that makes me believe this is that he has joined not even a month ago but have done more than 200 edits. Cookersweet ( talk) 15:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
