[edit] Lamas

Did Tilopa ever hear the word bla ma? Did he ever meet any Tibetan? Should the article be categorized as Lamas?--Klimov 17:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Good question. I think the category Category:Lamas name is unfortunate, as is the fact that it is a subcategory of Category:Tibetan Buddhist teachers. I am wondering if that category could be bypassed by finding appropriate places for the few articles in it. Also, the creation of Category:Mahasiddhas is a very good idea. I will put it under appropriate supercategories and this may resolve some categorization issues. Of course, Marpa was the first Tibetan in the Kagyu lineage so Tilopa and Naropa don't belong under the Lama category. Ekajati 18:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
