[edit] Vairotsana

Thanks very much for starting the article on Vairotsana -- However -- I worry that the text may not be licensed in a way that allows us to use it verbatim on Wikipedia (if indeed it was copied from the linked source -- I confess I didn't look at it *that* closely. ) In any event, I would be happy to work with you to expand the article, as Tibetan Buddhism (in particular Dzogchen) is an area I want to contribute more to. Feel free to leave me a note on my talk page, and welcome. Zero sharp 15:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks for understanding. May many blessings attend you on your retreat. Zero sharp 21:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singing Bowls

Hi, sorry about the reverts, I must have been gettign sloppy. I've been trying to practice patrolling recent changes as quickly as possible. Might I suggest that you log in with your account in future, as it might prevent confusion of this sort? Boris Allen 13:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Probity

Nothing leaps out at me, but remember if someone reverts 3x in 24 hours, you can report them -- see [WP:3RR]. The article on Phurpa probably needs a lot more references -- I'll see what I can dig up there. Bottom line: don't take any of it personally :) Zero sharp 04:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ganachakra

I am sorry, I fail to see that Ganachakra is anything like transubstantiation. Is there supposed to be a real objective change in the underlying reality? Perhaps transignification is analogous, but, as far as I can see, not transubstantiation. Lima 05:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tantra vs. sex magic and other topics

While these are related, they are not the same. Sex magic is a Western practice which have the same goals as Tantra and may not use the same techniques. For example, some sex magic requires emission; Vajrayana practices prohibit it. In fact, it might be better to say they practiced Vajrayana, as the Tantra article is primarily about Hindu tantra. In any case, sex magic is a Western term coined significantly after the time of Padmasambhava. The use of it represents an editorial opinion. Can you cite a source that says they practiced sex magic? A reliable academic one? If not, WP:V says it can't be said. If there is someone who thinks they are the same, you could report on that and cite it, but it would have to be clear whose opinion it was describing.

On the other articles, I've done some sprucing up. Ekajati (yakity-yak) 15:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

P.S. does B9 stand for benign?

[edit] your articles

You'd want to start here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Buddhism. You'll want to talk to User:Nat Krause and User:RandomCritic will be able to help you.--D-Boy 06:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eagle 101's over-speedy deletion of article

Regarding the following book citation i created: *Gold, Peter (1994). Navajo & Tibetan sacred wisdom: the circle of the spirit. ISBN 0-89281-411-X. Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions International.

I entered the chapter headings...i looked at another book article on Wiki, refer following, *Brown, Dee (1970). Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. ISBN 0-330-23219-3. and used this as a template. Note that they have the chapter headings in there. If this is not a violation please reinstate the chapter headings into the article and paste a response to this on my chat page.
