Kagypa
Kagypa school appeared in Russia only 20 years ago and has nothing to do with historical buddhism  in Russia .Historical   ruler of Russian buddhists    is Gelugpa scool  and its there are monastery in Kalmökk  ,Buryat   Tuva and so it has been  already   III centuries,No need to point Kagypa as a major scool  thats wrong,And the center has been always  after II WW  Buryat Ivolga monastery, and headlama of Russian budhists has  always been  Khambo Lama  from Buryat,In our days Khambo lama is Ajusheyev.--VanemTao 09:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
The article suffers from numerous technical errors (spelling and such). --Smack (talk) 06:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I had a go at fixing some of this article. Mainly the Buddhism in science. Contains the curious term "buddhalogical," I have no idea what to do with it. [User:Cashie|Cashie]] 12:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. There are many red links. I am unsure the scientific applications of Buddhism, it seems more of a philosophy to me... science could measure any effects of practises I suppose. Tyciol (talk) 14:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Holidays
We all want to know what holidays they celebrate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.8.198.2 (talk) 18:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

TOC
The article is long enough to have a TOC. I added one, but there's just one section (besides the "See also" and "External links")--Esteban Barahona (talk) 17:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Question about a reference
Is the link in reference 8 supposed to go to the photo of lettuce? I am not sure if I'm missing something or if the text before that reference isn't related to the actual reference.

Adding info the History prortion
I've been doing research on this topic for a class for my anthropology class, so I decided to add information about the History regarding this topic. TRCloyd (talk) 14:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

History section - statement correct?
The history section says:

How did he accomplish to do that, though, without being in power?

The Bolsheviks didn't get into power until the October Revolution, which happened on 7th November 1917.

According to Stalin's wiki page: he only became a member of the communist party in 1917. He became just the People's Commissar for Nationalists of the RSFSR on 8th November 1917. He became a member of the Russian Constituent Assembly on 25th November 1917. Nakonana (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
