What the charity does
Our charity's primary purpose is to enable people to access Buddhist teachings and texts that are currently not available in their own language. We achieve this directly through oral interpretation of teachings and the translation of written texts, and indirectly by training and educating future generations of translators and creating supportive conditions for their development. A fundamental aspect of our ethos, which helps fulfil the charity’s purpose, is offering all our oral and written translations and training courses free of charge.
