Glad to see you're keeping an eye on me

"Keep an eye on" calls for more mindfulness than I can manage ... so I snoop around now and again. ;-p
A question: there are 2 Shangpa_Kagyu pages, yet the category page remains "unwritten". I don't understand how that is so. __{*}__ --ben 19:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmmm, weird indeed... As to the 2 Shangpa pages, they both ("Shangpa Kagyu" and Shangpa_Kagyu") seem to point to the same entry. TSD
Hmeh ... now I can only find 1. Perhaps the 2nd was a redirect?
But something more substantial; I've found this apparent contradiction ... seems to me it appears somewhere else also: "The Shangpa Kagyu school (shangs pa bka' brgyud) developed independently and is not counted among the Four Greater and Eight Lesser Dagpo Kagyu schools" and then "The Shangpa Kagyu is one of the eight great practice lineages (sgrub brgyud shing rta brgyad) of the Tibetan buddhist tradition". Is that precisely true? Or is there some confound here? --ben 21:28, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
