From the age of 15, I was intrigued that the works of Buddha were not available in English.  I searched libraries, bookstores, etc only to find a few sutras. I could not believe that Buddhism, as one of the major religions of the world, did not have its core text(s) available in English.  Another 15 years passed before I learned of the Tengyur and Kangyur.  From that point forward, it has been part of my mission to be a part of the effort to make sure that the Dharma is available in not only English but in every major language.
