== Lead == 
 The lead stated: Teachers such as Chogyam Trungpa, Sogyal Rinpoche, Lama Jampa Thaye (Karma Thinley Rinpoche's western regent), have helped Western understanding of Tibetan Buddhism through Western Sanghas and their books. This list contains at least one obscure person and is highly selective anyhow. The dalai lama misses, on the other hand. Either replace it by a reference to Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet (not necessarily the West) or establish a list of important teachers outside Tibet.
