I am not sure how to spell the founder of the schools name. I think a few important facts are missing, e.g. that he was a Sa-skya. That his major contribution to philosophy was to combine Nagarjuna and Dharmakirti. Also, the violent nature of the ascendency of the school seems to have been studiously avoided. The Gzhan-stong v. Rang-stong debate might use some attention too. --Nathan hill 09:48, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New kadampa

Why does New Kadampa redirect here. Is it someone making mischief ? Billlion

No - 'New Kadampa' is a synonym for the Geluk. The 'New Kadampa tradition' is certainly not a synonym for the Geluk. However, I have added some text to that, to disambiguate, as many individuals appear to be confused about this distinction. (20040302)

[edit] Rename

Should this page be renamed to Gelug? If you wanna reply do it on my talk page by the way. --Hottentot

[edit] founding the gelugs

it is a little bit inadequate to claim Tsongkhapa has founded the Gelug school. mainly a founding was attributed later to his actvities by his followers. --Kt66 23:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Again to that said here: Tsongkhapa founded Ganden and the formation of the Gelug school was a development after his death, I correct the article in that sense. regards, --82.187.147.18 (talk) 17:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gyuto Order

Why is the Gyuto Order, which was apparently one of the two primary divisions of the Gelugpa movement in Lhasa, not mentioned in this article? Badagnani (talk) 01:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
