Report 2020

This year, since the start of the project less than six months ago, we have published over 40 texts of the Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse or Longchen Nyingtik cycle, including new translations of the three main root sadhanas, namely Rigdzin Düpa, Palchen Düpa and Yumka Dechen Gyalmo, and the inner guru practice of Dukngal Rangdrol. We published 6 texts of the Rigdzin Düpa cycle, 5 of the Palchen Düpa cycle, 11 of the Yumka Dechen Gyalmo cycle and 6 of the Dukngal Rangdrol cycle. A complete list of translated texts can be found here.

In the last month of December we have published a new translation of Rigdzin Düpa or The Assembly of Vidyādharas, The Inner Practice from the Heart Essence of the Vast Expanse, normally the first sadhana one starts with when embarking on the practices of the Longchen Nyingtik cycle.

For the new year, several new translations are in the planning, such as three different empowerment texts for the Yumka Dechen Gyalmo, Dodrupchen Jigme Tenpe Nyima’s Guide to Yumka called A Lamp Illuminating the Excellent Path of Great Bliss, and Khenpo Pema Vajra’s commentary on Dukngal Rangdrol. We also hope to acquire funding for some major commentaries, namely Ratön Ngawang Tendzin Dorje’s Illuminating the Meaning of Tantra, A Commentary on the Practice Text of the Ḍākinī Queen of Great Bliss and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche’s commentary on Palchen Düpa, The Illuminating Jewel.

With gratitude and a happy new year to all our translators, editors, readers & supporters.
