I suggest renaming this page

Hello,

This page is currently titled "Long Scroll of the Treatise on the Two Entrances and Four Practices." However, the page is really about the relatively short text, the Erru Sixing (The Two Entrances and Four Practices proper). This short text makes up only one part of the much larger Long Scroll, dubbed the Bodhidharma Anthology by Broughton. The complete Long Scroll, or Bodhidharma Anthology, contains seven parts: [1] a biography of Bodhidharma, [2] the Erru Sixing, [3-4] two letters by anonymous authors, and [5-7] three records of dialogues and sayings by various masters. To make the content of the page match the title, it would have to be significantly expanded and reworked so as to include an analysis of all seven parts of the Long Scroll. I think it would be much easier to just rename the page to Erru Sixing (or Two Entrances and Four Practices). After all, the Erru Sixing also circulates as a text on its own, independent of the other material in the Long Scroll. Likes Thai Food (talk) 23:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
