Insights from A Teacher
Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche met with team members from 84000 to discuss the significance of the number 84,000, why sutra study is important, and which sutra has most impacted his life. “His Holiness the Dalai Lama is always advising us to read teachings of the Buddha... Not to just keep it in the volume, not just to keep it in our house, but to read it and practice and apply it to oneself. He said the Buddha taught for us to apply and to practice, not to keep it in the house.”
Watch the video to inspire your own sutra study and learn how a rooster, a snake and a pig influenced the name 84000. READ MORE

Editors in Action
Two members of 84000’s editorial board, John Canti and Tom Tillemans, took time out of their translation work to answer questions about their work. Both share thoughts on their biggest challenges, what excites them most about translating the Kangyur, and how they proceed when there are two possible meanings for a passage.
In addition, you will learn more about the new Reading Room currently in development, advice on becoming a translator, and 84000’s review process, including why an approximative understanding of Sanskrit or Tibetan syntax doesn't cut it when creating scholarly translations. READ MORE
