Daniel is CEO/Publisher of Wisdom Publications and is an experienced business executive with decades of insights gathered from corporate and consumer marketing executive roles working for multinationals such as Canon, and large financial firms such as Westpac.

While pursuing his business career, Daniel continued to foster his life long interest in Tibetan Buddhism, the Tibetan language, and its literature.

Erik Pema Kunsang is a dharma teacher and translator of tantric texts and pith instructions of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages. Early in life, a deep curiosity about the nature of reality led him to connect with the tradition of Buddha Shakyamuni, and of Padmasambhava, which he has studied, practiced and served ever since. Under the guidance of his main teachers, the dzogchen master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, Erik has translated numerous dharma texts in simple language. He is the co-founder of Rangjung Yeshe Publications, Rangjung Yeshe Institute (Nepal), and several Gomde retreat centers across Europe. Appointed to teach the dharma by Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche, he now guides retreats on simplicity, naturalness, love, and insight.

In 2016 Erik founded Bodhi Training in Denmark, a two-year education initiative that explores all levels of insight into the Buddha’s teachings, giving participants an opportunity to connect with the dharma in a gradual, experiential, and interactive way.

These days he enjoys a quiet life with his wife Tara, singing mantras and buddhist songs, and doing no-dig gardening. It brings him deep happiness to make the original poetry of dharma possible to chant in English, especially the sadhana texts of Padmasambhava.

Dominic Latham grew up in the beautiful countryside of Warwickshire in the UK. His father was a green grocer and his mother a florist who battled with a chronic lung disease. Together, these are some of the conditions that led to Dominic’s early appreciation of family, order, beauty and hard work.

After finishing school, he moved to London and gained degrees in Fine Art, Cultural Studies and Digital Media and began working as a programmer and software designer. He co-founded a company pioneering the use of the internet to make online bookings which grew to become a leading service provider. This experience gave him the opportunity to work closely with a large and diverse group of talented people.

He now has 25 years experience building technical solutions for organisations. As Technical Lead for 84000, he particularly likes to engage with readers, editors and translators and then develop elegant tools to suit their respective needs. He still likes to draw, mostly as a way to practice seeing things as they are – an ambition closely linked to his Buddhism. Dominic lives in Berlin with his German wife and their three children.

Since then, she has given tirelessly to the Foundation, working more than full-time hours, rarely taking a weekend off, always on a wage of exactly zero. We would not be here today if it were not for her dedication, her devotion, her excellent business sense, her diplomacy, and her hard work.

She graduated with honors from the University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature.

Nathaniel Rich is an Editor at 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha. He studied philosophy and history as an undergraduate in Texas, and completed an MA and PhD in religious studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Though his academic research has focused primarily on the intellectual and institutional history of the Nyingma tradition, he is currently investigating the place of sūtra literature in the development of mind training among the early Kadampas. He is especially interested in introducing contemporary Buddhist practitioners to the study of the Kangyur.

Ryan has been a member of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche’s Dharmachakra Translation Committee since its inception in 2006, and has taught courses in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Translation Studies at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Kathmandu and Rangjung Yeshe Gomde in northern California. He first began working for the 84000 as a translator with the Dharmachakra Translation Committee, before joining the editorial team in 2017.

In addition to his ongoing translation and editorial work, Ryan is currently completing his PhD in Sanskrit and South Asian Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

Line was born and grew up in Denmark but has spent a large part of her life living and working in other European countries. Her interest in different cultures and ways of life brought her to study ethnography and anthropology at the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis (France) and Aarhus University (Denmark), from where she graduated with a master’s degree in 2001.

She then worked for two decades in various types of international organizations, together with colleagues from all over the world. During this time she gained extensive experience in areas such as document management, project management, human resources, general administration and more.

In March 2020 she joined 84000 to take up the position of Editorial Manager in the Editorial team. When she is not busy keeping everyone and everything organized, she loves going for walks in the Danish countryside where she now lives.

Laura was born and raised in the middle of New York state. She studied creative writing at Cornell University, after which she spent several years composing, recording, and performing music while traversing the US and Europe. Having learned about new and wonderful things in the meantime, she went on to obtain an MA in Buddhist studies at Naropa University focusing on translation of Tibetan and Sanskrit.

After spending some time in Eastern Tibet and North India furthering her Tibetan studies, she worked as a research assistant at the Tsadra Foundation in Boulder, CO, and briefly with the editorial department at Shambhala Publications.

She currently resides in Binghamton, NY, with her partner Celso (who is also on the 84000 publications team) and kittens Meru and Velvet. She considers herself lucky to spend her days reading the Kangyur and nitpicking everyone’s grammar.

Dion Blundell was lassoed onto the path by H.H. the Dalai Lama’s teaching of the Heart Sutra, brilliantly interpreted by Thupten Jinpa (Mt. View, CA, 2001). Subsequent auspicious connections with many kind and authentic teachers—including Sangye Khandro, Lama Chönam, and Khenchen Namdrol Rinpoche, from whom he gratefully received oral teachings on Longchenpa’s Guhyagarbha commentary Chok chu munsel and his Tshig don mdzod, kindled a passion for the dharma.

He began editing for Sangye Khandro and Lama Chönam as they translated Chok chu munsel over a four-year period, published as The Guhyagarbha Tantra (Snow Lion, 2011). For B. Alan Wallace he edited Minding Closely (Snow Lion, 2011), Meditations of a Buddhist Skeptic (Columbia University Press, 2012), and a three-volume translation of quintessential Dzogchen treasure texts, Düdjom Lingpa’s Visions of the Great Perfection (Wisdom, 2015).

In a former life, he earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University and an MBA from Pepperdine University, and enjoyed marketing management roles in developing and launching innovative telecom and computer peripheral products for large multinationals as well as startup ventures. He is thrilled to be editing new translations in support of the 84000 mission.

Mike has been deepening his practice and understanding of Buddhism since he was first introduced to it at the age of 16. While at school, his interest in the mind motivated him to study psychology as well as philosophy, and afterwards led him to spend a year in Nepal researching attention training in the Tibetan monastic education. Mike then spent the next four-and-a-half years studying Buddhist philosophy and practice in southern France.

Mike began to work for 84000 on several small editorial projects, and joined formally in 2016. He now manages the publication and markup stages, where the editorial, technology, and communications team all interface. He has transformed 84000’s initial, painstakingly slow, manual method of markup into a rapid and efficient process, now mostly automated, and coordinates a small team of markup editors who make sure that all the fine detail is in place. He has also planned and realized various tools to allow copyeditors, editors, and translators to communicate with each other and keep accessible their ever growing know how.

He currently lives in Barcelona with his wife and three sons.

Celso Wilkinson is a graduate of Naropa University where he studied Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan Language. After graduating he continued his language studies abroad in Eastern Tibet and Northern India while intermittently working as a curriculum coordinator for the Nitartha Institute.

Now as a translator and TEI markup editor for 84000, in addition to translation his work has focused on developing various data projects for 84000. He is currently exploring ways in which this vast knowledge developed under the 84000 project can be utilized with computer technology as a resource for translators and researchers. This includes developing a translation memory project as well as exploring the current state of translation software, applications, and data projects and how they can be of benefit through this valuable data.

He lives in Binghamton, NY, with his partner Laura (who is also on the 84000 editorial team) and their two cats. While not working for 84000, Celso is also a painter and writes graphic novels.

André Rodrigues first trained and worked as an architect, in Lisbon, where he grew up, and also in Venice and London. But, having found Buddhism in his early teens, all that merely served to quench his curiosity about saṃsāric life. In any case, the broad scope of an architect’s training, learning to structure ideas and creative problem solving have proven to be very useful in all fields.

In his mid-twenties, he started to devote himself solely to Buddhist studies and practice, completing an extended three-year retreat in Chanteloube, in 2012. With the encouragement of his teachers, he studied (and continues to study) Tibetan and, currently, he is translating Dharma texts from Tibetan into Portuguese, and is the coordinator of the Portuguese language branch of the Padmakara Translation Group.

He started working part-time for 84000 in January 2017, taking the texts through the publication stages, making sure that the online glossaries show the right terms and so on. He feels privileged to be part of this incredible endeavor and to have the chance to read and learn from these precious texts.

With a decade of varied experience across South and Southeast Asia as a development professional and as a cultural heritage advocate, Pema was recently awarded a major project grant by The British Library’s Endangered Archives Programme to lead a local team in preserving and making available 100,000+ pages of the history of the former Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim.

Previously, Pema had been working on systemic rights and post-conflict issues in South Asia with Human Rights Watch (New York; New Delhi); The Asia Foundation (Nepal); and International Crisis Group (London). Prior to this, in New York, she worked in the arts at the International Center of Photography, among other galleries and publications.

Pema holds an MSc Conflict Studies, specializing in International Human Rights Law, from London School of Economics; and BAs in History and Art History from NYU, where she focused on cultural shifts in Central and South Asia.

Now based in Thailand, she is on the board of the Neilson Hays Library (Bangkok), but mostly considers herself fortunate to have entered the dharma as a child under the kindness of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche – who among other things, piqued her interest in Monday night boxing and blueberry pancakes.

Joie is currently a PhD candidate in Buddhist Studies (Study of Religion) at Harvard University, where her research interests include pre-modern Tibetan religious life writing, institutional history, travel literature, and Buddhist art.

She holds a BA in Film Studies and English from Yale University and an MPhil in Tibetan & Himalayan Studies from the University of Oxford. She is the Chinese communications coordinator for 84000 and the new book reviews editor for Buddhadharma magazine.

In 2010, Ushnisha joined 84000, then known as the Buddhist Literary Heritage Project, and left her job in healthcare the following year to take on the full-time role of Executive Assistant.
