Further on Amdo Hi I appreciate your additions to the History section in Amdo However regarding the latest addition According to Tibetan Government in Exile Chogyal Phagpa the head of the Sakyapa school of Tibetan Buddhism became the religious instructor of Kublai Khan In exchange Chogyal Phagpa received the support of Kublai Khan and assumed political power over the three provinces or cholkas of Tibet The Three Dharma Kings of Tibet This intereaction called priest patron in tibetan ch y n relation was the first in history of Tibet and was also developped under afterward circonstances Tibetan sovereignty debate I wanted to query two things First the Amdo article is about the Amdo region not Tibet and not the sovereignty debate While I can see how the relations with the Mongols can be relevant since the Mongols first incorporated Amdo into other commandaries provinces I don t think we need too much detail on the relations between the Mongols and Tibet that is dealt with in other articles Furthermore it is bad form to use internal reference i e another Wikipedia article can not be used as a reference Finally this statement presents only one point of view when clearly there are several I don t want the History section of Amdo to turn into a rehash of either History of Tibet or Tibet sovereignty debate I propose to cut the added paragraph to a relationship which the Tibetan Government in Exile now terms a patron priest relationship whereby Tibet exchanged political control for the power of religious instruction of the Khans ref Please let me know if there are any problems with this proposal Talk
