Talk:Kadam (Tibetan Buddhism)

Possible Move

It may be advisable to move this page to "Kadam (Tibetan Buddhism)". The suffix "pa" is not included in the pages for the Kagyu, Nyingma, Sakya and Geluk, so it probably should not be included here either, in the interest of consistency. Sylvain1972 14:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely. I can't believe this has survived for so long.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 14:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Kelsang Gyatso was not trained in Sera but in Tashi Lhunpo

It is wrong to claim that Kelsang Gyatso was trained in Sera because he was trained in Tashi Lhunpo. He might have studied some years in Sera but he was not really trained there! I added a citation needed quote. The claim that KG studied in Sera is a self-promoting claim which is not really correct. 87.170.106.100 (talk) 13:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Ethnicity

Atisa was born and grew up in Bengal. He has nothing to do with India, that was a misunderstanding. IN fact he is included at in the list of bengalis, but not in the Indians one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.206.73 (talk) 16:34, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Any reply? 78.149.114.101 (talk) 13:33, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Reliable Sources are important to any claim. Also, "Bengal" did not exist yet. He grew up in Bikrampur, not "Bengal". Ogress _smash! 03:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

LOL! Read the article Bengal. Don't say nonsense. What you are saying is like "He grew up in New York, not in America".--Caddyamebabuddha (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Read more carefully: there was no Bengal at that time. In 980, Bikrampur was an administrative center of Harikela. Gautama Buddha was also born in the Shakya Republic, not Nepal. Ogress _smash! 18:48, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Have you read Ancient Bengal? Even if there was not Bengal (just an example) then why should we falsely write Indian? In fact he is included in Bengalis. You are probably confusing with Bangladeshis--Caddyamebabuddha (talk) 10:35, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
