RangjungYesheWiki: Tibetan-English Dictionary, Dharma Glossaries, and Resources

Rangjung Yeshe Translations and Publications, Kathmandu, Nepal and 
Trace Foundation, New York, NY, US

Self-description:
"The Tibetan-English Dictionary of Buddhist Culture from Rangjung 
Yeshe Version 4 [aka The Rangjung Yeshe Tibetan-English Dharma 
Dictionary - ed.] presents Dharma terminology as a free lotsawa-tool 
for translations of Buddhist literature especially Mahamudra and 
Dzogchen. It aims to assist translators of Dharma scriptures of the 
three vehicles - Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Containing 
essential vocabulary for meditation texts, this Tibetan-English 
dictionary is a compilation from numerous translators and 
translation-groups in the tradition of Shakyamuni and Padmasambhava. 
Background history: Rangjung Yeshe Translations and Publications, 
located in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal is an ongoing project 
involved in compiling Buddhist terminology and translation terms to 
bridge the Tibetan and English languages, this Buddhist dictionary 
helps translation of Dharma terminology. Begun in 1979, it has slowly 
grown to a collection of more than 276,000 entries. Comparatively, 
the original Tibetan-English Dictionary of Sarat Chandra Das had 
approximately 27,000 entries. The current version includes the 
dictionary of James Valby and Ives Waldo, and the vocabulary of 
Richard Barron."
