The perspective I present in this particular article, and any mistakes it contains, are solely my responsibility. I would like to offer a special note of thanks to Pema Bhum for his generosity and patience discussing Tibetan language sources with me. I am also grateful to Gray Tuttle and Annabella Pitkin for commenting on early drafts. And finally, my sincere thanks to Holly Gayley and Nicole Willock for their significant commitment to this volume and my article.
