An amazing collaboration between traditions has just been forged that will serve to benefit sooo many beings!!! Those mantrikas who read Mandarin should be especially happy. May we all rejoice in the merit of Chinese Buddhists everywhere!

Please share this great news with anyone you think would be interested, and especially those who'd like to get involved with such a meritorious translation project!
I haven't seen such a good Tibetan/Chan Buddhist pairing since Master Sheng Yen & His Holiness the Dalai Lama gave a joint teaching on Manjushri

Translating from Tibetan into Mandarin
"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme
