Does anyone have a citation for Hsing Yun's claim to be the 48th Patriarch of Linji (i.e., Chinese Rinzai)? This would imply that the Linji lineage has had a unified leadership, but I've never heard this anywhere else. I'll take the claim down in a few days, unless there is a cite. - Nat Krause 10:45, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nobel Peace Prize nomination
- 1989- Awarded the Golden Bell Award for his aired Dharma lecture on TTV, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 07:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
