Additional information

The FPMT Translation Fund

	May this text be most beneficial for all sentient beings. May it cause all sentient beings to achieve enlightenment as quickly as possible. May anyone who sees this text, hears, or dreams about this text never be reborn in the lower realms. May they immediately be freed from all disease, spirit harms, negative karma, and defilements, and then achieve enlightenment in that very life.
–Lama Zopa Rinpoche

As the Dharma takes root in the West, clear and accurate translations of the classic texts are essential. The FPMT Translation Fund supports this critical work with translation from the original Tibetan into English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Mongolian, and other languages. These translations support FPMT's Masters and Basic Programs as well providing essential practice materials that have been advised by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

Recently sponsored translation workincludes:

Gyaltsab Je’s Ornament of Essential Explanation (rNam bshad snying po rgyan)
The Dalai Lama’s books, Essence of the Heart Sutra and The Meaning of Life in Vietnamese
Translation offices in France, Spain, and Brazil translating FPMT practices and course materials
Translation of Sanghata Sutra and Golden Light Sutra into eleven languages, with more to come!
Je Tsongkhapa’s Lam-rim Chenmo in Chinese
