Buddhism and Daoism[edit]

The section on Buddhism and Daoism talks about how they define "wild" but I can see no context for this statement, nor even a reference to the word "wild" that makes any sort of sense. Is this attempting to address a slang term? i.e, "Thats wild, man"? 71.13.45.124 (talk) 19:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
