In the "Accumulation of Merit” section, there is a small diagram on the right side that says: "Yan Lag bDun”, but down the page there are some verses with tibetan scripts. For consistency, I would write "Yan Lag bDun” also in tibetan script.
It is a minor thing. So far, I am enjoying the website. +
I think this should be developed by adding some suggestions to learn more and go deeper so that practitioners and students have a clearer sense of what to read next. This is a very interesting area that could be quite deep, but it is very short here for beginners, which is OK at the start here, but I think it could use some more, at least in the way of referencing further content. We should also have references here to the new book coming from Thupten Jinpa on the Bodhisattva Ideal and other key scholarship and/or practitioner content.
Alex-Added several videos on the Bodhisattva Ideal including one in the Theravāda Context and added The Bodhisattva Ideal book by Jinpa. +
To TOP
In my opinion, "to the top" log be followed throughout the pages, especially at the bottom. Now I can see it just below the table of contents. (Marcus says: Good Point! It seems like on long pages it doesn't follow all the way down, but it should.) +
1) rupakāya should be rūpakāya
2) sambhogakāya should be saṃbhogakāya
3) 20. Great compassion (thugs rje chen po)- Here, thugs rje chen po is not italicized.
4) Should furnish Sanskrit and Chinese terms for the "Elements of Perfect Enlightenment" +

karuṇa should be karuṇā +
Very well structured, simple yet profound. Easy to follow and navigate. Very well researched. I haven’t watched the videos, but to have them available is a great idea.
I like the page format. Good design. +
This page is not finished. It says: "This page will include…..”
So far, this new website is great. I think it is really useful. +

Geshe Kelsang Wangmo: Buddhism Says Don't Have Faith? The Radical Teaching That Changes Everything/Feedback 1 +
wonderful explanation. wonderful too to have women Geshe or Khenpo included. +
Skt term missing: ground གཞི་ - भूमि should be added.
Typo: प्रमान should be प्रमाण
Skt/devanagari term missing: emptiness endowed with all supreme aspects རྣམ་ཀུན་མཆོག་ལྡན་གྱི་སྟོང་པ་ཉིད་ - सर्वाकारवरोपेताशून्यता
Skt term missing: seven branches ཡན་ལག་བདུན་ सप्ताङ्ग +
Under the word Bodhipraṇidhicitta, it only says Noun... Not sure if it needs Sanskrit or Tibetan added +

To the "basic meaning” of བདག་མེད། I would add that it is the meaning according to Vaybhasika school because it has a different (deeper meaning) for the other more developed philosophy schools. i.e Svatantrika, Prasangika, etc. +
At the bottom of the page there is an error displayed, which starts with:
An error occurred during the storage process. Message reads <ul><li>Property "Glossary-SutraQuoteSource" (as page type) with input value "Ratnagotravibhāgavyākhyā 73.11-12. As translated in Zimmerman, A Buddha Within, 2002, p 40." contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.</li> +

The display of these could use some work. Perhaps the "Reference" info could appear and then the description with a hover over, rather than the descriptions? I'm not sure. Some look funny, others OK. Perhaps we can review? Also this page loads VERY VERY slowly for me. Like minutes of waiting...and often ends in just a red bar that says "undefined" +
Classical Works shows as Undefined... Not sure if that is how it is meant to be +
Each entry....showing how works connected to..that sentence seems to have a grammatical error? +
Need to aggressively scroll for a few minutes to finish the book section and reach the article section.can this be made easier?
Alex - use the Contents hyperlinks on the right. +

opening video very clear and succinct. good sound quality +
Not a full issue, I imagine this will be updated. But I think you intend to change that YouTube title or upload another video. Here is a reminder for that. +
Suggestion: adding some text above or below the video. I think it might be helpful for first-time viewers and newcomers to Buddhism. While the title appears on the YouTube video, I feel like it's easy to overlook. Say someone is on the subway train, can't play the audio (or a circumstance like that) it may be beneficial for "New here? Start here." sort of text. Or even just a short copy that repeats some of the video. Not too long, but that maybe helps guide someone again to the discover button.
It's otherwise straightforward, neat, and feels good as the landing page. I really do like how it's set up. But I was "searching" for where to go, what's here, what's what. It wasn't completely intuitive... I think there's an audience that will feel like I feel and get it. I'm writing this more so for the newcomer. It's there, but maybe just a slight bit more leading. That way new people can be funneled through a curated experience, and those of us who get into that searching state, will also be looking straight for that and going to the other doorways. They're already interested and looking for a text. New people have that fresh interest that maybe could use that first couple lines of text under the video. "Welcome to the website, here is a video introduction to the project and website. If you're new here, click the discover button to..."
This could also be incorporated as a chat pop-up, maybe? like some websites, where you go, and it pops in the bottom right. that "new here, start here" sort of thing. I suppose the only problem with that would be trying to keep it just on the landing page, and a way to be disabled for people coming back. Though it's a minor inconvenience to close.
Just some thoughts on that. But again, the landing page looks great. The intro animation is captivating! The video is well done; audio is great and easy to follow. It just happened that when I started to explore the page I didn't pick up on "discover" right away. I didn't get drawn into that text under. I know one would hope people were taking their time and reading things through but we know this age people don't always.
