Vetali?[edit]

Vetali is also sometimes Mahakala's consort - not sure if this is an alternate name or a different personage. Sylvain1972 20:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Confusing First Paragraph[edit]

The first paragraph identifies Palden Lhamo with Remati then "...or Remati[3] is a protecting Dharmapala of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism". This is ambiguous because it implies that Remati is only a protector of the Gelug school and of Tibet as a whole from the view of the Gelug school. But Remati isn't limited to the Gelug school, though as Palden Lhamo she might be -- of this I'm unsure, though I'm certain that Remati is a Darmapala also sometimes used in the Nyingma school. I haven't made changes because I can't source it well enough at the moment. This note is to remind me to return and clarify and/or to ask someone else to do so.
