Kagypa

Kagypa school appeared in Russia only 20 years ago and has nothing to do with historical buddhism in Russia .Historical ruler of Russian buddhists is Gelugpa scool and its there are monastery in Kalmökk ,Buryat Tuva and so it has been already III centuries,No need to point Kagypa as a major scool thats wrong,And the center has been always after II WW Buryat Ivolga monastery, and headlama of Russian budhists has always been Khambo Lama from Buryat,In our days Khambo lama is Ajusheyev.--VanemTao 09:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup

The article suffers from numerous technical errors (spelling and such). --Smack (talk) 06:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I had a go at fixing some of this article. Mainly the Buddhism in science. Contains the curious term "buddhalogical," I have no idea what to do with it. [User:Cashie|Cashie]] 12:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. There are many red links. I am unsure the scientific applications of Buddhism, it seems more of a philosophy to me... science could measure any effects of practises I suppose. Tyciol (talk) 14:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Holidays

We all want to know what holidays they celebrate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.8.198.2 (talk) 18:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

TOC

The article is long enough to have a TOC. I added one, but there's just one section (besides the "See also" and "External links")--Esteban Barahona (talk) 17:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Question about a reference

Is the link in reference 8 supposed to go to the photo of lettuce? I am not sure if I'm missing something or if the text before that reference isn't related to the actual reference.

Adding info the History prortion

I've been doing research on this topic for a class for my anthropology class, so I decided to add information about the History regarding this topic. TRCloyd (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

History section - statement correct?

The history section says:

By 1917, Joseph Stalin had ensured that no datsans remained open in the country.

How did he accomplish to do that, though, without being in power?

The Bolsheviks didn't get into power until the October Revolution, which happened on 7th November 1917.

According to Stalin's wiki page: he only became a member of the communist party in 1917. He became just the People's Commissar for Nationalists of the RSFSR on 8th November 1917. He became a member of the Russian Constituent Assembly on 25th November 1917. Nakonana (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

I have removed the statement which was sourced to The Christian Science Monitor (link: ). For one, because Stalin was not in power yet in 1917. For the other, because the statement contradicts the second sentence that followed it: "In 1929, many monasteries were closed down and monks were arrested and exiled." Which clearly states that there were still monasteries in 1929. It also contradicts the information found in Gazizova (2017), which is summoraized here: Buddhism in Kalmykia#In the Soviet Union. And it in fact does not reflect what is actually written in The Christian Science Monitor -- direct quote: "Of the more than 80 Buddhist datsans that existed in 1917, not one survived until Joseph Stalin permitted the small wooden temple to be constructed at Ivolginsky in 1946."
