Tibetan Translation Movement

The Tibetan Translation Movement is a collective effort initiated in the 20th century to translate and disseminate Tibetan Buddhist texts into other languages, especially English. It aims to preserve Tibetan Buddhist teachings, philosophy, and culture by making these resources accessible globally. This movement involves scholars, practitioners, and translators working collaboratively to ensure accurate and comprehensive translations, fostering cross-cultural understanding and academic study. It has significantly contributed to the international awareness of Tibetan Buddhism and helped safeguard its spiritual heritage in the face of historical challenges.
