I dont see why it needs a disputed neutrality tag. Lets see what it says
Lama Surya Das is an American-born lama in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, an author of popular works on Buddhism,
and a respected teacher of Buddhism in the United States.
Born Jeffrey Miller, and raised on Long Island, Lama Surya Das later spent many years in India and Tibet studying with Tibetan lamas including H.H. Dalai Lama, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Kalu Rinpoche, H.H. 16th Karmapa.
He is the dharma heir of Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche, a teacher in the Rime movement.
In the 1990s Lama Surya Das created the Dzogchen Foundation to further the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the West.
In 2003, at the request of Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche, he founded Dzogchen Osel Ling as a sanctuary, hermitage, and lineage seat in Austin, Texas. Lama Surya Das also travels and teaches throughout the United States.
So unless someone comes up with some article in the press disputing any of this, why dont we just drop the Neutrality disputed tag? Billlion 6 July 2005 22:04 (UTC)
Anyone know why he has a Hindu name? I've always wondered.~Syl —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sylvain1972 ( talk • contribs)

The article says that he is the “spokesperson for Buddhism in the west” and that indicates that he speaks for every Buddhist in the west which just is not true at all it is however only according to the citation in the book cited in endnotes of the article and needs to read “that according to (title of cited book) he is the spokesperson for Buddhism in the west”
Common readers will not even notice or check the citations they will simply take the article at face value that this man speaks for every Buddhist in the west and he does not even come close to that designation or title DarkMasterDru75 ( talk) 11:11, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
The work in question is Eisenberg, Carol (August 12, 2004). "His Jewish mother calls him the Deli Lama". Newsday. DarkMasterDru75 ( talk) 11:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
