Authentic and relevant translations of ancient texts
At 84000, we are dedicated to translating this massive collection of foundational Buddhist texts so that millions of people may come to know that a written collection of the Buddha’s words exists, and millions more may be empowered to engage with them directly. But it is about more than just the translation of ancient texts: it is about supporting the transmission of genuine Dharma well into the 21st century.
