Great effort Billion! All we really need now is a good picture to go with the description. AndyBrandt 10:15, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Andy, and I agree it needs a picture. Any one got one, or planning to go there? Billlion 17:35, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ownership

I expect this article will magnetize strong feelings, that's not surprising with such a heart felt issue. I just removed the 2004 claim of ownership because I googled and found this rebuttal from the opposing view: [1]. May the broken hearts of all sides on this fraction of the karma kagyu lineage be mended. - Owlmonkey (talk) 18:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rumtek Monastery

edit

Rumtek Monastery (Tibetan: རུམ་ཐེག་དགོན་པ་, Wylie: rum theg dgon pa), also called the Dharma Chakra Centre, is a gompa located in the Indian state of Sikkim near the capital Gangtok. It is the seat-in-exile of the Gyalwang Karmapa, inaugurated in 1966 by the 16th Karmapa. It is also a focal point for the sectarian tensions within the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism that characterize the 17th Karmapa controversy. 103.216.177.160 (talk) 11:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Entrance guarded by armed Indian soldiers.

edit

I'm wondering if the entrance is still guarded by soldiers. Source of that statement, last line of the wikipedia page was a book from 2004. I was able to find an article from 2010 that states the same... are there still guards at the gate in 2023? Badabara (talk) 18:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's hard to prove a negative, unfortunately. Primefac (talk) 13:09, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
