This seems to me to be an ad for a book and secondarily for an organization -- New Kadampa Tradition (NKT). As such, it does not belong on Wikipedia at all. I see there is already a fair amount of activity regarding the NKT , but this article, which dates to 2009, seems to have escaped so far. Some examples of promotional vs neutral language...
Universal Compassion is used as an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Foundation Program with tens of thousands of students worldwide, described by Steven Heine in Buddhism in the Modern World: Adaptations of an Ancient Tradition:
and
The Foundation Program is meant for serious students who want a guided study at a deeper level than they can get through the series of Lamrim talks, usually all pitched to a beginner's capacity, that normally constitute the fare of Western Dharma centers.[13]
and
It is also an integral part of the New Kadampa Tradition's Teacher Training Program, a rigorous "multilayered educational" study program of Buddha's teachings of Sutra and Tantra presented in accordance with the tradition of the Tibetan master Je Tsongkhapa (AD 1357-1419), designed for those training as Buddhist teachers.[14]
So, (a) any discussion of the concern? (b) is there something I should so, like marking it for review or deletion? (c) if so, how do I do that (technical question)? Sorry, but I am new to this part of the process.
PS -- I see there is a category for non-fiction books. Fine, but this article is still pretty far off of the Wikipedia neutrality model.
PPS -- I haven't looked yet, but since the NKT has published a ton of books, there may be other articles with this problem.
