The recently translated The Verses of Nāga King Drum focuses on the virtues of patience and nonviolence in the face of aggression and abusiveness, which feels particularly apt for the current global climate.

This anniversary year we gave our website a new look! We’ve added a Team page, a Media page, Milestones and more. We hope this improves your online experience and makes it easier to find what you’re looking for.

 

In Focus: Sūtras for Well-Being


Throughout this Summer, in response to the unique challenges this year has brought, 84000 has been building upon its first, fully digital outreach initiative to support its global community in feeling inspired, connected, and uplifted. The Sūtras for Well-Being series shares a curated selection of texts from the Tibetan Buddhist Canon, and offers our friends a multimedia look at the sūtras traditionally recited for resilience and well-being in times of adversity, and the stories behind them.

Bittersweet: Cangioli Che Announces her Departure from 84000


It feels somewhat bittersweet to share the news that after eleven years helping to incubate, develop, and advise 84000, Cangioli Che is stepping down from the 84000 Executive Committee. Through her strategic stewardship, Cangioli has been instrumental in building the foundations to allow 84000 to become what we are today. Her passion for our mission, coupled with her dedicated service, has made 84000 a significant force for the preservation and revitalization of the words of the Buddha.

The People Driving Progress: Our Editorial Team


Imagine if your to-do list had 4,500 items on it. Ours does. The people who direct and manage the process of reviewing the translations, editing, proofreading, and marking them up, are the members of our growing Editorial Team. As far as we are concerned, they are the heart of 84000. And despite disrupted patterns of life throughout 2020, this year has been a prolific one for our Editorial team, marked by a record number of publications. As well as welcoming several new members, the team has had regular meetings and held numerous discussions on policy, difficult terms, issues of style, and shared knowledge and resources.



84000 is a global non-profit initiative to translate the words of the Buddha and make them available to everyone.
