This does not seem to be neutral point of view. I am no expert but consider that the name of the 'alternate candidate' is not given, and as well as the PRC, he is recongnised by Tai Situpa and tha Dalai Lama. This article, perhaps not suprisingly, is written by those who take the Sharmapa's POV in the Karmapa controversy rather than Tai Situpa's. I suspect the Tai Situpa faction would also dispute who is second in charge of the Kagyu lineage.

In any case, is an article on Sharmapa the right place to describe the Karmapa controversy? I suggest not.Billlion 19:47, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] School versus sect

Elsewhere in wikipedia we have refered to Kagyu Geluk etc as schools of Tibetan Buddhism rather than sects, so I have changed to school.

The position of the sharmapas as 2nd in political or spiritual importance within the Kagyu seem to be a matter of dispute between supporters of of the Sharmapa and those of the Tai Situpa.Billlion 06:34, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
