October 2010 Free Unicode version of TibetanMachine typeface * A unicode version of our workhorse TibetanMachine typeface was made available some years ago by the University of Virginia.  Unfortunately, the font was badly damaged by them in the process.  As a result it has many flaws in it and does not represent the high quality of the original TibetanMachine typeface made by us.  We have rectified this by making our own unicode version of the Tibetan Machine typeface and we are distributing it freely.  Anyone using the "Tibetan Machine Uni" typeface from the University of Virginia will want to delete it from their system and replace it with our authentic version.  The authentic version works better in many ways! The authentic font can be obtained from here.

July, 2009 New Tibetan Text Collection ** We have often thought that it would be good to have one collection of all the main Indian Buddhist texts that Tibetan Buddhists need to study.  We now have a collection like this.  Khenpo Zhanga of Dzogchen Shri Singha institute was famous for his compilation of 19 of the most important Indian Buddhist texts which went together with his own commentaries on them.  We have re-produced the root volume of the seven volume set, the volume which contains the actual root texts.  This single collection will give you all the popular texts in searchable electronic editions that can also be printed, if desired.  Go to the Tibetan texts for purchase page and look for Khenpo Zhangas texts.

July, 2009 Coming Book ** After spending a summer teaching Zhantong to some yogi students here in Nepal, Lama Tony has completed work on a complete book of Zhantong.  This is unlike anything published so far because it focusses on Zhantong as something that a practitioner can understand and practice rather than all the polemical debate that has detracted from its real meaning and made it hard for practitioners to access.  The book comes with many translations of major works by Jamgon Kongtrul and others in his lineage.  It includes several explanations of Milarepa's songs in terms of Zhantong by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyatso.  The book contains a wealth of authentic translations of material mostly not seen before.

July, 2009 New Tibetan Text Collection ** A complete, electronic edition of the Seven Treasuries of Longchenpa.  This is a super-high quality production based on an original Adzom Gar print.  The Adzom Gar print is regarded as the best available, and significantly better than the few other complete editions available such as the one from Dharma Publishing.  At the time of writing, it is very hard -- impossible actually -- to get a good quality print of the Seven Treasuries.  This electronic edition will be a major step forward for Tibetans and Westerners alike who want to read and study this collection.  The full story of our meticulous editorial work, and so on will be told at the time of production.

June, 2009 New Book ** The Longchen Nyingthig Preliminaries

April, 2009 New Book ** About the Three Lines Striking the Three Points by the Third Dodrupchen Tenpa'i Nyima
A brilliant exposition of both Thorough Cut and Direct Crossing (thregcho and thogal) according to the Three Lines teaching originally given by Garab Dorje.  The text will help anyone to understand these practices further and is a wonderfully fresh commentary on the Three Lines teaching.  If you have been studying Patrul Rinpoche's text, this will help your understanding enormously.  It is available from the purchase page

April, 2009 New Tibetan Texts ** The Three Trilogies of Longchenpa
Longchenpa wrote three trilogies that are amongst his major works and which are relied on heavily in the Nyingma tradition.  We have produced electronic editions of all them and made them available in our free Tibetan Text offerings section.  This is a major offering; the work took nearly a year to complete and represents a significant portion of important Nyingma texts.
