[edit] Lamini?

I have never heard the word Lamini. All the female lamas i know are called lamas. Can someone cite a source for this word? Billlion 08:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

The word Lamini doesn't exist. I have only heared it as a joke-word a couple of times. I agree that this should be changed in the article! Thank you. Korrri 10:06, 07 March 2007 (CET)

is there a source, that she is a full qualified Lama? --85.181.14.229 11:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The only source I know about Ole and Hanna being qualified Lamas comes from Ole's books. it is true that they met XVI Karmapa and that they studied with Lama Kalu Rinpoche. Curiously Ole and Hanna began to use the title of Lama four or five years after the death of XVI Karmapa —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.209.25.13 (talk) 06:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Ole is referred as Lama by XVII Karmapa as well as by Shamar Rinpoche; so it's sufficient considering that Ole is a teacher of the school they're leading. It's hardly imaginable to think of other kind of approval as "fully qualified".

The three documents at this link ([1]) should clear this further.

AdamHolt 02:31, 22 June 2007 (UTC)I believe the word "lamini" actually comes from Nepal, instead of Tibet, where it is used to mean a female lama.
