Took out "theosophical"

edit

Got rid of "theosophical" because the definition doesn't match the Tibetan context ("any of a number of philosophies maintaining that a knowledge of God may be achieved through spiritual ecstasy, direct intuition, or special individual relations, esp. the movement founded in 1875 as the Theosophical Society by Helena Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott").

Also, the "theos" prefix isn't really ever appropriate to the Tibetan Buddhist context, as buddhas and bodhisattvas aren't gods in either the European or Buddhist (i.e. devas) senses, and while they are concerned with local deities, they are too different from what is commonly associated with theos (particularly in terms of their cosmological significance).

There's a long way to go before the article is completed and brought up to standard, in my opinion, with a number of sources available out there that could be used to expand it. Immediate fail or withdrawal of the nomination? Amitchell125 (talk) 07:31, 30 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Names

Are all the names so widely used that they need to be bolded in the lede? Or could some be relegated to a footnote? Haukur (talk) 00:47, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

It seems that a recent research has shown that Khor Re was his elderly brother, who was the king of Purang, while he was conferred the king of Guge and de facto the leader of Ngari dynasty. Llooong 03:19, 4 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
