Editorial transparency

Editorial Method

The editorial method preserves the difference between inherited sources and newly written teaching material.

Policy

Canonical text identifies a referenced discourse, sūtra, dhāraṇī, or verse.
Traditional commentary identifies an inherited interpretive layer.
Cross-tradition comparison places historically distinct traditions beside one another without claiming they are identical.
Modern analogy and psychological framing are contemporary explanatory choices, not canonical quotations.
Contemplative exercises and interactive models are teaching aids; they do not measure realization, karma, cognition, or spiritual attainment.
