Crystal Visions

The great treasure trove that is the One Hundred Thousand Tantras of the Ancients, the Nyingma Gyubum, contains oceans of profound Dharmas, many of which I have already translated into English. At this time, I am focusing on three Tantras of special interest for their prophetic content and amazing poetry. They are Mind Section Tantras originally translated into Tibetan in the Eighth Century of our era by Vimalamitra working with Yudra Nyingpo, who is famous for writing the Biography of Vairochana (Translated into English by Ani Jinba Palmo as The Great Image: The Life Story of Vairochana the Translator). The titles of the three Tantras are: The Tantra on the Reality of the Great Perfection that Is Clearly Present in the Unchanging Good Fortune of the Bodhicitta, the Tantra that Teaches the Purity of Applying the Bodhicitta of the Great Perfection to Everything, and the Tantra on the Reality of the Great Perfection where We Start Living in the Oceanic Circle of the Bodhicitta. I am already deep into the translation, and I have no doubt whatever that these Tantras will speak to the hearts of people of today, just as they did twelve hundred years ago.

I need your support. I will be putting all my energy into bringing out this translation. There is an enormous amount of merit in this. I hope you will share in it. Be a part of making this happen! My target for this fundraiser is $4,200. The book in English will be about 300 pages long. I am seeking support to make ends meet so that I can continue to offer excellent translations for you.

I am offering gifts to those who contribute: Those who send $108 will receive a copy of the finished book. Those who contribute $500 will receive a signed copy of the book and be mentioned in the Acknowledgements. Those who contribute $1008 will receive three signed copies of the book and will be mentioned in the Acknowledgements. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help to sustain me while I bring this book out. I deeply appreciate the support I have received for my translations over the years, and I do everything in my power to bring you a reliable and meaningful translation. Your support is the essential ingredient to making this project workable.
