I think value of each rule is matter of POV. No need to push Mahayana POV FWBOarticle 07:25, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The previous version said that parts of Japan follow the Mulasarvastivada, i.e. Tibetan, tradition. I've never heard of such a thing, though of course there are Tibetan (and Theravada) monks in Japan, mainly at its universities. I've deleted this until someone can provide proper evidence.

Hi Peter. I've heard of a Mongolian teacher who says he is the lineage holder and a Rinpoche of a Tibetan Vajrayana tradition (one that made it all the way to remote mountains of Mongolia and survived). I've got nothing we could cite, but wanted to say that it is possible Tibetan tradition exists in Japan, on a similar basis. Deebki 23:24, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Tibetan Vajrayana is the dominant religious tradition in Mongolia.—Nat Krause(Talk!) 17:00, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'China Hendrix' nickname?

The entry at the bottom of the article sounds doubtful. I've added a citation tag to it, and a cursory google search doesn't turn up much of use for 'China Hendrix'.--Anchoress 00:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
