Strengths:- Contribution by various people (myself included) who have experience in dealing with Dzi beads. I have gone to various cities (and remote areas) in Tibet and also bargained with the Native Tibetan Dzi bead sellers there with regard to the sale of Tibetan Dzi beads.


Weaknesses:- Dzi beads and their mystical powers can't be proven by scientific methods. They go hand in hand with the Tibetan Buddhist and Native Tibetan BON religious belief system.


Further Work to be Done :- 1. Discussion of Dzi Patterns, their meanings and associated Tibetan cultural beliefs.

2. Someone please put a stop to the repeated vandalism by the FAKE DZI sellers from Malaysia. These are the clowns who are trying to sell Dzi beads such as the 'KWAN YIN' Dzi beads! They are the ones who keep deleting chunks of information from this wikipage. WHY? They want to keep their victims in the dark about real dzi beads. Dzidzi888 15:19, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
