Usage notes
- The term has found disfavour among contemporary scholars of Buddhism for its connotations of a ritualistic perversion of a pure Buddhism; Tibetaans boeddhisme is used instead. Continued use exists among non-specialists, especially in texts translated from English, but this has an orientalist ring to it.
