Splitting into separate pages could be a good idea. One notable gain would be that "Namgyal", the name of Sikkim's former royal family, would not redirect to a Tibetan monastery or two. Robin Patterson 14:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The articles exist now, so I made put them under "See also". Davin7 (talk) 08:52, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name and date of establishment[edit]

Citations generally don't belong in articles' introductory sections; but both my edits to this page introduce them there, precisely because I think the matter of the date of the monastery's establishment should be a simple enough matter of fact to establish as such, but hopefully more likely to be so if it's seen as being unestablished by those who will know more than I do relatively "up front". Xeltifon (talk) 01:35, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've since removed the aforementioned citations from the introduction by creating the sections "Early Years" and "Since 1959". That leaves a mere four centuries or thereabouts to fill in, for anyone who knows more about this than I do. :^) :^) Xeltifon (talk) 08:02, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Founder: 2nd or 3rd Dalai Lama?[edit]

I'm going to leave my edit to stand, for the time being, based on Barry Bryant's published statement (in Wheel of Time) that Phende Lekshe Ling (the monastery which would later come to be called Namgyal) was established in 1564 or 1565 by the 3rd Dalai Lama, but must point out that Namgyal Monastery's Institute of Buddhist studies mentions Gyalwa Gedun Gyatso, the 2nd Dalai Lama, as Namgyal's founder^[1].
