:Hi. The usual pattern would be that it would start with a general page for the whole cycle, as here, and then as we add more material we could create pages for the various texts in the cycle, with Hevajra Tantra becoming a 'section'. It might be good to keep the quotation here for the moment, but we need sections on history and lineage, texts in the cycle, etc. And what complicates things here is that, as you know, the root tantra has a long 'proper' title (i.e., Śrīhevajraḍākinījālasaṃvaramahātantrarāja), or is known more simply as Hevajrarāja Tantra, or by its nickname Two Segments, or even just as Root Tantra, but all that info could go in a separate page. Additional material is always welcome! --[[User:Adam|adam]] ([[User talk:Adam|talk]]) 16:57, 13 July 2015 (CEST)

BTW the Lamdre literature and the Sakya sunbums has many, many, Hevajra commentaries, both creation and completion stage commentaries. If we add all this to the page it could become extremely long so yes we should think about splitting this page soon.
Also use [[Toh.]] for the Tohoku reference prefix which is nice that they were included for finding the originals.  [[User:Kent|Kent]] ([[User talk:Kent|talk]]) 21:00, 10 September 2018 (CEST)

Is this a general page on the Hevajra tantra cycle, or is this a page on the Hevajra Root Tantra aka the Two Segment as the quotation suggests? --Gyurmé 09:27, 13 July 2015 (CEST)
