Talk:Namchö

Content
This page hasn't been updated in some time. I would like to present some topics for discussion:

Discussion on the above points & anything else related to the namch&ouml; is welcome
 * gNam chos is better translated "sky/space dharma" than "sky/space treasure"
 * article implies that the namch&ouml; is associated exclusively with the Nyingma Palyul tradition, which is incorrect -- rather, the article can describe: the connection between terton Migyur Dorje, Karma Chagme and Palyul founder Rigdzin Kunzang Sherab; the importance of the namch&ouml; to the Palyul tradition; and the role of that tradition in preserving this terma cycle
 * article indicates that the 3rd Penor Rinpoche is the current holder of this lineage -- two issues: HHPR passed away in March 2009; the language suggests that this and other terma lineages are held by a single lama, which is incorrect
 * neither this article nor the one on Karma Chagme (Raga Asya) mention the seminal role the namch&ouml; played in the development of thinking and practice viz. unification of the Nyingma Dzogchen and Kagyu Mahamudra traditions -- this development had such wide influence that I'm surprised no wiki article on the Namch&ouml; Union of Mahamudra & Dzogchen exists
