editThis page hasn't been updated in some time. I would like to present some topics for discussion:
- gNam chos is better translated "sky/space dharma" than "sky/space treasure"
- article implies that the namchö is associated exclusively with the Nyingma Palyul tradition, which is incorrect -- rather, the article can describe: the connection between terton Migyur Dorje, Karma Chagme and Palyul founder Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab; the importance of the namchö to the Palyul tradition; and the role of that tradition in preserving this terma cycle
- article indicates that the 3rd Penor Rinpoche is the current holder of this lineage -- two issues: HHPR passed away in March 2009; the language suggests that this and other terma lineages are held by a single lama, which is incorrect
- neither this article nor the one on Karma Chagme (Raga Asya) mention the seminal role the namchö played in the development of thinking and practice viz. unification of the Nyingma Dzogchen and Kagyu Mahamudra traditions -- this development had such wide influence that I'm surprised no wiki article on the Namchö Union of Mahamudra & Dzogchen exists
Discussion on the above points & anything else related to the namchö is welcome
