Passing the Torch: Kumarajiva is Training the Future Chinese Translators

"The Buddhism that exists in the Chinese language is very important. When we are trying to keep this source alive, we know we can make more fire from here. So that is the sort of motivation we must have to keep this fire alive."

——  Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche talks about the importance of the Kumarajiva Project.

Become a Sponsor

Every page in the Buddhist Canon records the wisdom and aspiration of the Buddha. This project gives us the opportunity to devote ourselves to the precious Buddhist scriptures. 

Whether you sponsor translation of a single page of a sutra or shastra, or dedicate the merit of reciting a page, or make a single or regular donation, each one of your offerings will be a force to move the Kumarajiva Project forward.

Note

Please note that the $250 USD per page suggested donation amount is an approximation. This sum only includes the cost of translation, editorial, and proofreading work, but since this project also has administrative and other expenses, the actual cost is likely to be greater than this amount. Khyentse Foundation funds all costs and expenses of this project.
