@Paul: Very nice.

By the way, I like the term "directive" to describe the mess of pseudo-rule and non-rule statements in the SLIF. That term may well make its way into the SLIF's documentation.

On slide 2, with the graf that starts "There are two types ...", I just have a lot of problems with it. To the extent I understand what it says, it seems to me misleading or wrong. Could it simply be cut out ? You cover the same material much better later, starting with slide 3.

The "footnote" is a great way to deal with Marpa's description. As a nit, he's regarded at the founder of only *one of" the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. He apparently was quite the character, and far from saintly in person. He was a famous for his bad temper as for his dedication to Buddhist scriptures, which is quite an achievement -- as serious as the quest for Buddhist enlightenment is in Tibet, the competition in the race to be known as the biggest hothead has always been more fierce. At least so I am told.

All,

I've taken a number of your suggestions on board (as well as some
other thoughts). The URL for the presentation-in-progress remains the
same ...

Keep 'em coming, folks! I want to make this thing as close to truthful
as it can be without being painful...
