[edit]Having Black Elk appear would have been quite an impressive feat, since he died in 1950. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.77.67 (talk) 06:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- There's more than one Black Elk. He wasn't Sioux, he was Hopi Indian. You're thinking of the Sioux from Black Elk Speaks. Longchenpa (talk) 17:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

This article is inaccurate.
According to The Buddha from Brooklyn, Kunzang Palyul Choling was not co-founded by HH Penor Rinpoche and Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo. Jetsunma, whose American name was Catharine Burroughs, founded a New Age group called The Center for Discovery and New Life which met in the basement of her Kensington, MD home in the mid-80s. She channeled the prophet Jeremiah and a being she called "Santu" and gave private consultations. The group sponsored a large number of Buddhist monks at Penor Rinpoche's monastery, and Penor Rinpoche visited CDNL in 1985. A few months later CDNL purchased the property at 18400 River Road in Poolesville, MD. It was not at the time a Buddhist organization, and CDNL hosted Native American teachers such as Black Elk and purchased crystals weighing several hundred pounds to house Universal Spirit. In 1986, Catharine and her husband Michael Burroughs visited Gyaltrul Rinpoche in Oregon and CDNL began to host Buddhist teachers. While Catharine still channelled the prophet Jeremiah, her channelled classes began to discuss Buddhist topics. In 1987, Catharine and her husband went to Penor Rinpoche's monastery where she formally "gave" her center to HH Penor Rinpoche. It was then renamed by him Kunzang Palyul Choling. He then recognized her as the incarnation of Ahkon Lhamo, Kunzang Sherab's sister. Longchenpa 19:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC) |

Key practices
[edit]This section should be removed. It is not specific to Kunzang Palyul Choling and is simply an outline of general Vajrayana practice. Perhaps it should be moved to the Vajrayana article. Skyerise (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- I don't know what it was before, but it's appropriate to have the specific lineage and practices done. One temple does the Six Yogas of Naropa. Another does the Nam Cho. Another Longchen Nyingthig. Longchenpa (talk) 00:19, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Activities section removed
[edit]This section was copy and pasted from the Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo article. Granted there will be overlap, but c&p is lazy. This article needs a full write up. Longchenpa (talk) 23:42, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
Complete, top-to-bottom re-write
[edit]I have done a complete rewrite of the article for NPOV and a proper encyclopedic tone, as well as bringing it up to date with new citations. Longchenpa (talk) 07:22, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
The Rim County Gazette
[edit]Like many newspapers, The Rim County Gazette has both a physical newspaper and a blog. Articles appear on both. Longchenpa (talk) 15:54, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Citations Update
[edit]The changes are accurate. When I did the complete rewrite, I'd left that part from the previous version of this article that was a lift from the Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo article. Longchenpa (talk) 02:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
