Even if it does not, Wikipedia is not the place for stories ( essentially number 10). Please rewrite the article. -- TMC1221 00:15, Apr 6, 2004 (UTC)

I rewrote the article to make it more objective and point out that the four sights are part of the Buddha legend. Kathedra87 ( talk) 12:06, 1 August 2014 (UTC)-- reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Four sights. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{ cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{ nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

• Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/BUDDHISM/SIDD.HTM

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{ Sourcecheck}}).
