Our 2.5-Year Report Card
-
The 84000 initiative was started in January 2010 with a vision to translate the vast collection of the Buddha’s words, known as the Kangyur and Tengyur. To date, we are funding 102 translators from 25 Dharma centers and 20 universities to translate 8,000 pages (10% of the Kangyur). Read more about our progress.
The third grant cycle was recently closed, with applications received from 25 translation teams. Help us fund the next batch of translations by sponsoring one or more pages (monthly or one-time), or by becoming a founding sponsor.

Tibetan-Chinese Translation Workshop
-
84000 participated in a workshop organized by Khyentse Foundation, entitled "A Planning Workshop on Translating the Words of the Buddha (Tibetan<-->Chinese)", held in Robert Black College, Hong Kong University, on May 26-28, 2012. The conference was attended by over 20 scholars and representatives from nine countries.
Conference participants agreed to do research and lay the ground for cross translations of the Tibetan Kangyur and Chinese Tripitaka, with the aim of completing both canons and making all the texts available in modern languages. Read more about the workshop.
