Ah, I see now. I just reverted a link to the contemplative education center at Mahidol University in Thailand, thinking it was link spam. But it does look like they have a self described contemplative education center there. It was just that the english version of the site did not load for me so I couldn't see what it's really about. I could only navigate the Thai site about the center. Perhaps if someone could expand a section on that universities article about the center we could link to that article from here. Thoughts? - Owlmonkey ( talk) 18:51, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I propose that this page be merged with " Naropa University." My reasoning:
1. The term "Contemplative education" seems to be promoted almost exclusively by people associated with Naropa and / or the Trungpa organizations. While a few professors can be found using the term elsewhere, they seem to have Naropa ties, and in any case their universities do not promote the concept as Naropa does.
(Thailand's Mahidol University, mentioned above, raises an interesting problem in that what they mean by the term is almost certainly limited to Theravadin practices, and would be very different from Naropa's "non-sectarian" approach. However, if editors wish to expand the article to include basically unrelated groups which use this term, or have other commonalities, then that would be enough of a distinction.)
2. This article mainly repeats information found in "Naropa University," or in the school's own website. The same is true of the links, sources, and "see also" section. What little new material is introduced, would fit very easily under a subsection in the Naropa University article. (For example, the five-college group.) I would sing a different tune if this article were to carefully examine the origin, history, and usage of the term, but as it stands it is hard to distinguish from an ad.
I look forward to your discussion. --Dawud
