[edit] Serious Editing Needed

Hi all. this page needs some serious editing to bring it up to encyclopedia standards. Right now it's mostly opinion and original research, though it does summarize in my opinion the core ideas presented in the mentioned book. But it doesn't do that particularly well, it doesn't include specific footnotes, and it has some language that lacks neutrality. Cleanup needed, but if anyone is up for working on it with me that would be great. Owlmonkey 21:45, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It would also be fantastic if anyone could find references to "lalo" the tibetan term and teachings for barbarianism / obstacles to the path from which these teachings were based. At this point it's possible that translations of jamgon kongtrul's or ju mipham's teachings on this subject have been translated into english. I'm not sure. But citations and references to the root teachings, that Trungpa Rinpoche based these on, would be tremendously valuable and helpful. Owlmonkey 21:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
