Tsadra’s Translation and Research Tools
Rinchen Terdzö Catalog
This catalog presents information about each of the texts in the 71 volume Shechen Edition of the Rinchen Terdzö Chenmo, The Great Treasury of Rediscovered Teachings. This unique collection is the largest of the five treasuries that Jamgon Kongtrul the Great compiled throughout his life and is comprised of the many Rediscovered Teachings (gter ma) of Tibetan Buddhism. Tsadra Foundation has been funding the editing and reproduction of a new printing of the text with Shechen Monastery and the initial digital texts presented here come from that work. Visit the Rinchen Terdzö Catalog.
Treasury of Precious Instructions Catalog
This catalog, referred to as the “DNZ,” is a database of information covering the eighteen volumes of Jamgon Kongtrul’s Treasury of Instructions: Essential Teachings of the Eight Practice Lineages of Tibetan Buddhism(gdams ngag rin po che’i mdzod), including detailed information about each text, such as size, location, lists of people associated with each text, lineage data, lists of translations available, and comparisons with previous catalogs. For research purposes, all colophons, text titles, and author names are recorded in both Extended Wylie and Unicode Tibetan.
Featured: The Buddha-Nature Project
The purpose of this multimedia website is to provide a resource hub for trustworthy information for learning about and teaching the “third turning” concept of buddha-nature, its associated texts, teachings, lineages, and relevant Buddhist ideas. Unique content will be shared here, but the site will primarily act as a broker for other projects and authors that have already created quality materials, which we will curate for a wide range of audiences. This site is under construction and will soon include educational materials, video and audio teachings and interviews, translations, articles, reviews, and suggested readings for those who wish to learn more about the traditional Tibetan teachings on buddha-nature. Visit the Buddha-Nature Resource here:http://buddha-nature.tsadra.org/
