On the auspicious day of Saga Dawa Düchen-commemorating the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and Parinirvāṇa-we announced that 25 percent of the 70,000 page Tibetan Kangyur has now been published in English, and made freely available to the world. This significant milestone in 84000’s one-hundred-year project has been reached along with the publication of a translation of one of the longest sūtras in the Tibetan Buddhist canon, The Perfection of Wisdom in Eighteen Thousand Lines.
To celebrate this historic milestone in the translation of the Kangyur, our Founding Chair, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, introduced The Perfection of Wisdom live online, followed by a Q&A.
