a [[realm]] of dust,
while going forth
is the open [[air]]."
[[Seeing]] this, he went forth.

On going forth,
he avoided [[evil deeds]] in [[body]].
[[Abandoning]] [[verbal]] {{Wiki|misconduct}},
he [[purified]] his [[livelihood]].
Then he, the [[Buddha]], went to [[Rajagaha]],
the mountain fortress of the [[Magadhans]],
and wandered for [[alms]],
endowed with all the foremost marks.
[[King Bimbisara]], [[standing]] in his palace, saw him,
and on [[seeing]] him, [[consummate]] in marks,
said: "Look at this one, sirs.
How handsome, stately, [[pure]]!
How [[consummate]] his demeanor!
[[Mindful]], his [[eyes]] downcast,
looking only a plow-length before him,
as one who's not from a lowly [[lineage]]:
Send the {{Wiki|royal}} messengers at once
to see where this [[monk]] will go."

REDIRECT

#REDIRECT[[]]

Used to redirect page to another page.

Example:

We make page Buddha's so not to write all that what is written in article Buddha we redirect Buddha's so if it is clicked it will open article Buddha

Example:

#REDIRECT[[Buddha]]

We just insert this and save the page. We can also add categories to redirection's so they will appear under the category page as well

For that we do

#REDIRECT[[Buddha]]
[[Category:Buddhas]]

So now page Buddha's will appear under category Buddha and when the page is clicked it will open page Buddha

Also we can add terminology categories as well {{PaliTerminology}} {{SanskritTerminology}} {{TibetanTerminology}} {{JapaneseTerminology}} {{ChineseTerms}}{{KoreaTerminology}} {{SanskritLetters}} {{TibetanLetters}} {{ZenTerms}} {{TheravadaTerms}} look more under Terminology Category's Section

For that we do

#REDIRECT[[Buddha]]
[[Category:Buddhas]]
{{PaliTerminology}}

Now page Buddha's appear under Pali terminology category as well.

Only use this to redirecting different versions/names all referring to one article but can be further categorized as well in any of the terminology

#REDIRECT[[:Category:]]

To redirect some page/article into category page

Example:

#REDIRECT[[:Category:Buddhas]]

Will result redirecting the page you insert it into the Buddha category page.

Example:

Page 12th Dalai Lamas is redirected to Category:Dalai Lamas

See section REDIRECT page for further explanation same applies only difference is that it would be redirected to Category page.

#REDIRECT[[Wikipedia:]]

Same as other but redirects to English wikipedia page.

#REDIRECT[[Wikipedia:Wiki page name]]

{{#externalredirect:}}

Used to redirect page to external site

Useage:

{{#externalredirect:http://www.chinabuddhismencyclopedia.com/en}}

{{NewSourceBreak}}

If there is multiple sources where the information is taken then you can use this to separate them

Have a look page Vairotsana where there is 2 sources one from RigpaWiki and another from Wikipedia.

You can click edit to see how its done in article.

{{LTSW|}}

It is used to create anchor points in text what you can use to redirect pages to and also create links to specific place in some page.

Example:

[[Vairotsana]] was born into the [[Pagor]] {{Wiki|clan}}, and was sent to [[India]] by [[Trisong Detsen]] to study with [[Indian]] [[pandita]]s. He also travelled widely 
in [[China]], {{Wiki|Khotan}}, [[Nepal]], {{Wiki|Shangshung}} and elsewhere. 
He was one of the {{LTSW|original seven monks}} [[Seven men to be tested|original seven monks]] [[ordained]] by [[Shantarakshita]].

How it will look (As you can see you cant see the LTSW any more because it remains hidden .

---
