 * I don't know what the Tibetan word "Shang" translates to, but perhaps it's not unique to that region or lineage? Just a guess. - Owlmonkey (talk) 21:27, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Most probably you are right; the last link talks about "Lama of Shang", Shang being a place.

Bhutan
on wikisite Buddhism in Bhutan it is said:

"The Shabdrung

Prior to 1907, the highest Buddhist leader in Bhutan was the Shabdrung, a tulku who is seen as the reincarnation of Bhutan's founder. His formal activity to benefit all sentient beings is destined to occur in seven lives, each with his own prophecy."

Do they belong here, too?

It would be nice to know the source of information referring to his building a monastery there.

PS: another link, which says: "In the eighth century, Songtsen Gampo conquered Shang Shung and united Tibet and then Buddhism was introduced."

The root is the Six Doctrines of Niguma {rtsa ba ni gu chos drug} the trunk is the Amulet-box Precept of the Great Seal {phyag chen ga'u ma} the branches are the Three Ways of Carrying Realization on the Path {yal kha lam khyer rnam gsum} the flowers are the Red and White Khechari {me tog mkha' spyod dkar dmar} and the fruit is Deathlessness and Non-deviation {'bras bu 'chi med chugs med} [ry]
