[edit]

I have moved the material in this article from Gyalwang Drukpa since each Drukchen or Gyalwang Drukpa should have a separate article.

COI?

[edit]

Unfortunately it seems many articles on Wikipedia about individual Tibetan lamas including this one often look less like objective summaries of verifiable biographical material than they do mini-hagiographies or promotional material. Usually it turns out the main contributors are either disciples of the lama concerned or have some close involvement with that particular lama’s lineage. While this may provide some “insider knowledge”, it usually heavily biases the content with a particular non-objective POV. I've probably been guilty of writing articles like this myself.

Often much of the material seems drawn directly from the Lamas website or that of a directly affiliated Dharma group. Using Tibetan "biographies" as primary sources is also problematic since few if any meet the modern academic standard of objectivity.

Hope I don't go to some vajra-hell for raising this, but should devoted disciples (or a disaffected former disciples) of a Lama be encouraged to preclude themselves from editing articles about their "root guru" or lineage on grounds of conflict of interest? The goals of being a good disciple in the Tibetan tradition and those of Wikipedia often seem to be opposed. Chris Fynn (talk) 18:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
