Essential Buddhist Prayers
Volumes 1 & 2 Updates

	I just got the Prayer Book Volume 1 2008 edition, and I can't begin to thank you and all involved for how beautiful and beautifully compiled it is!!  What a blessing and asset this will be to my practice!!! Another reminder of why I am so grateful for and think the FPMT should be the fourth jewel I could take refuge in!!!
–Stephen Austra-Beck

	When I started to translate previous versions of the Prayer Book, I felt disappointed every time that I had to change the version before it was printed. Later I understood that we were fortunate for having a teacher who looked after us and kept us moving. The worst feeling is that of success, because it makes you sleep. So don't worry about my complaining, because it's just a joke, I am quite open to the changes that I bet will come soon. We are on a path, so it means we have to keep moving!
–Luis Portillo, Spanish translator of FPMT Prayer Books
