Chinese name?

Why give his name in chinese, while he was indian? Is there a particular reason? --Raminagrobis (talk) 21:17, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, because his doctrines are described in the parts of the Buddhist Canon that have been translated into Chinese and not preserved in Sanskrit. noychoH (talk) 18:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hedonism

"There is no evidence[citation needed] to support that Kesamkambali was a hedonist, because he led a very simple life. He wore a garment made of hair and lived an ascetic lifestyle. He did not wear precious ornaments, did not surround himself with beautiful women, and did not live in gluttony. Hedonism was used as a "straw man" argument by opponents of Charvaka." This description, in fact, goes very well with the Epicurean school definition of hedonism which cannot be separated from ataraxia and aponia. I believe applyig the modern-day misconception of the term hedonism here is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:D187:E600:F4BF:36A2:147D:9027 (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
