[edit] Mahayana Monk

I don't think that "Ho-shang Mo-ho-yen" can be translated as "Mahayana Monk". In Chinese (modern Chinese, at least), modifiers precede the noun, just as in English. Therefore, "Ho-shang Mo-ho-yen" is "Monk Mahayana", i.e. it sounds more like a name that a simple description.—Nat Krause^(Talk!) 22:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
