One thing that I ran across today on a blog is in regards to translation. Rev. Ryuei (A Nichiren Shu minister) feels that the word "samyak" ("Right" in the titles of the eight components of the Eightfold Path) is much more closely translated into english as "whole" or "complete". Thus instead of "Right View" which generates the concept of "Wrong View" and sets up a duality, it is much more accurate to call this concept "Whole View" or "Complete View". This applies to all eight, of course.
The blog in question is here: http://www.fraughtwithperil.com/blogs/ryuei/
