Ashoka Translation Grant Award by Khyentse Foundation for Innate Kalacakra Project
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Am happy to share the news that the Khyentse Foundation have awarded an Ashoka Translation Grant for my forthcoming Innate Kalacakra project. It was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise as the application round is very competitive for such grants.
The first year of the project will focus on translating and publishing, the sections of the three main Jonang texts that teach the Innate Kalacakra (that are used in the Jonang and Karma Kagyu traditions for Kalacakra
retreats). Accompanied with translations of sadhanas by Taranatha and Jamgon Kongtrul Thaye and a short introductory history and background to the Innate Kalacakra. I will also try and include translations of sections on the practise by Karma Kagyu and Nyingma masters.
As I have written about before here, the Nyingma and Khyentse lineage, particularly with the master Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo and Jamyang Khyentse Chokyi Lodro (see photo below) have a very strong historical connection to Kalacakra and the Jonang master, Taranatha.
Many thanks to HE Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and the Khyentse Foundation for their recognition of this proposed work and aims. May it be of benefit!
