Feedback-43 + (I might suggest in addition to "Gyu Lama" … I might suggest in addition to "Gyu Lama" in the heading, The Titles of the Gyu Lamausing Tibetan, Wylie. It's not very appealing to scholars and Tibetan readers to have just Tibetan phonetics :)popup:The Ultimate Continuum (text title), often referred to as the Gyulama in the Tibetan tradition. This is the short title often used for the key source text of buddha-nature teachings, the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra. Skt. उत्तरतन्त्र Tib. རྒྱུད་བླ་མHere "ultimate continuum" is used but in the main text "superior continuum" is used -- is this intentional? it might be confusing. And I'm not sure what is being said. The Ultimate Continuum (text title), can't be often referred to as the Gyulama, it is an English translation for rgyud bla ma. So, is the meaning something like this:The "Superior Continuum" (Tib. Gyu Lama, rGyud bla ma རྒྱུད་བླ་མ) is often used as a short title in the Tibetan tradition for this key source text of buddha-nature teachings: the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra. Skt. {need to have Devanagari for Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra} Devanagari for Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra})

On a small screen it's really distracting to have that image and on large screen, less so but there's a lot of wasted space to the right.I'm going to send Marcus 2 screen shots to show what I mean.It’s distracting and hard to read content that has italics, Chinese, and lightly underlined words with a line circling through it — and next the Maitreya image even blue :) Maybe that blue could be more faded?ue :) Maybe that blue could be more faded?)
Feedback-74 + (I noticed that the other three schools have some contemporary teachers in the Associated People section, but not Kagyu. Might be nice to have some in the Kagyu section)
Feedback-78 + (I think the Tibetan looks nice under study … I think the Tibetan looks nice under study, but I think you need to have Ratnagotravibhāga in that tile. I know it messes with the two line aesthetic if you want to keep both, but it's a multilingual page and only somebody who reads Tibetan will know which root verses its refers to. And then maybe on the root verse page, instead of Pinyin we should include the French title.Pinyin we should include the French title.)
Feedback-28 + (I think we should change the sidebar for the root verse. Maybe have an expandable/collapsible button for each chapter that contains those chapter verses. Otherwise there's going 400 something verse listed in the side bar)
Feedback-2 + (I think we should consider making the TOC the first tab on any book or dissertation because coming to a book like this and see a blank area there is offputting, but if I saw the TOC, I would be like, yay! I can see what is in this book!)
Feedback-30 + (Image missing for Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche teaching, here and on its page, and error message in its place. Linux Chrome)
Feedback-19 + (In the TOC are two bullets before the appendix section.)
Feedback-15 + (In the main title, I would add the diacritics to Tathagatagarbha, since it is present everywhere else.)
Feedback-60 + (It roughly translates as “The Ultimate Teaching (uttaratantra)[2] of the Mahāyāna. Mahāyāna should be translated as Great Vehicle since this sentence is translating the title.)

It feels more intermediate to me." Also, "The metaphors of the statue and the mango seed should come earlier." Finally, in this area he says, "If this site is for people who perhaps altogether new at this, it’s tricky to write “please seek out an authentic teacher to engage in any specific practices discussed here” without also giving some guidance on what it means to be/find an authentic teacher.”it means to be/find an authentic teacher.”)
Feedback-27 + (Melvin McLeod: I looked most closely as th … Melvin McLeod: I looked most closely as the beginners' area, because that's where we work a lot. I do think the language of the introductory paragraphs is too complex---some long sentences and paragraphs that take real work to follow. I urge you to look for simple, declarative sentences, at least in the initial paragraphs. Then it can become more complex. My suggestion is to model this section after the kind of language Mingyur Rinpoche uses in the Lion's Roar piece you feature. I think the emphasis here should be on simplicity, clarity, and accessibility.Aside from perhaps making the beginner material clearer and punchier, they're all pretty minor. Congrats on a great job.all pretty minor. Congrats on a great job.)
Feedback-4 + (Melvin McLeod: I think you should open further readings as separate tabs. As it stands now, you have to use the back button, which takes you back to the top of the previous page, not where you were.)

Feedback-68 + (Note # 3 at the bottom of the page, "Kano" is a red link. Kano, Buddha-Nature and Emptiness, 27, note #41.)
Feedback-22 + (Ohhh, now I see that you did use the videos we uploaded on youtube. it's was just that the first one has a different cover. So all good)
Feedback-34 + (On a mobile device (iPhone 8plus) the background is a weird fuzzy line that is very distracting.)

Feedback-37 + (Providing roman transcription (with diacri … Providing roman transcription (with diacritics) would be helpful for the Sanskrit (and also for Tibetan) in order to easily copy/paste quotes for academic studies. Also, am I right that there is no Sanskrit available for the commentary part of the text? Here is what Oslo has that is helpful (though they don't use standard Wylie which is annoying): https://www2.hf.uio.no/polyglotta/index.php?page=fulltext&view=fulltext&vid=61&mid=0p?page=fulltext&view=fulltext&vid=61&mid=0)

Since this is the realm of the beginner, it might be helpful to have a summary of what Karl talks about or something to help contextualize the video.
