Diacritics Convention
When in doubt, search the terms DB and use the highest-priority source's form.
| Rule | Examples |
|---|---|
| No diacritics (default) | Mahasthamaprapta (佛教术语), Yogacarabhumi-Sastra (经论名), Guanyin (佛教术语), Pabongkhapa (nti) |
| With diacritics | Kṣitigarbha (DoT定稿 uses this form) |
| Sanskrit terms | Keep standard romanization: bodhicitta, bardo, Amitabha, prajñā |
The DB uses simplified romanization. DoT定稿 is the authority — if it uses diacritics for a term, follow it. Otherwise strip them.
Pitfall: academic/pedantic diacritics (Mahāsthāmaprāpta, Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra, Avalokiteśvara) are common in general knowledge but wrong per MPI conventions.
