Sophie McGrath
Trainee Translator
Sophie translates sūtras and tantras from the Kangyur.
Sophie met Buddhism at a young age and was inspired to help transmit the Dharma in the West through translation and interpretation. She fully immersed herself in Tibetan language, culture, and traditional philosophical studies for nine years by studying the geshé degree curriculum in nunneries in India and Nepal. Following that, she interpreted for Tibetan geshés in the West to facilitate FPMT Basic and Masters programs. Along with this she also translated philosophical texts, including The Fourteenth Dalai Lama’s Stages of the Path, Volume 2, published by Wisdom Publications.
She is honored to have the opportunity to participate in 84000’s project, which she believes is fundamental to transmitting Tibetan Buddhism to the West.
