I've done some minor editing, linking (to other Wikipedia articles) and tried to make certain formulations more elegant and NPOV. Hope Jlpinkme (I greatly respect your work. Keep it up!) will accept and appreciate my effort. Kind regards, --Twisturbed Tachyon 17:58, 30 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Added Pictures

edit

I added two pictures I downloaded from the Dilgo Khyentse Foundation. I put a "copyright status unknown" on them, so someone will check them. I did my best with placement, but if a more experienced editor has a better idea, please edit. I have several of Dilgo Khyentse's books, and as I have time, will be happy to work with this page, and give source info where possible. I would also like to add a link (and make a page) for his Yangsi (believed reincarnation that has been identified). There are nice pictures of the young boy being blessed by the Dalai Lama. --Dorje Shedrub 02:33, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Treasure mark

edit

I have removed the sentence: "The 'treasure mark' (Tibetan: gter ston gter btags) of Dilgo Khyentse (Terton Dongag Lingpa) has been coded into Tibetan Unicode 3.0 by Tony Duff." and the accompanying footnote as Tony only ever made a draft proposal - which was never formally submitted - and consequently this character has not as yet been encoded in the Unicode Standard.

Rime movement

edit

The Rime is not a school or order. It is a movement, which has been attended by a number of monks and scholars from different schools (although most of its leading lights are Nyingma). Oliver Puertogallera (talk) 06:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Note 2014 change in name from Yangsi

edit

While adding current information on Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, it's notable that on 4 July 2014 the Shechen.org website [1] writes "Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and ...". So, officially, the name Yangsi is not in current use. This should be reflected in the section titles here (can do), and a page for him could also be prepared. Thanks.

WP:NPOV

edit

There's quite a bit of fluffy prose in this article:

  • recognized by Buddhists as one of the greatest realized masters
  • Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was a perfect example of a Ri-me master
  • conveys Khyentse's samaya, diligence and humility in receiving empowerments
  • his determination to preserve and transmit Buddhist teachings far and wide

Unfortunately it reads quite a bit like a puff piece. Tryin to make a change :-/ 04:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you read scholarly biographies about Dilgo Khyentse, it's not puff. He is an exceptional being. I've been busy correcting fictional narratives on his bio information, which are much less interesting than the truth. Metokpema (talk) 10:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
