Tibetan English Dictionary of Buddhist Terminology

by Tsepak Rigzin

This is the first such dictionary in English and is based on "The Great Volume of Precise Understanding" (Mahavyutpatti)-the first Sanskrit-Tibetan dictionary commissioned by King Tri-Ralpachen in the 9th century, supplemented from the works of various Tibetan Lamas. The work contains 4,000 main entries and over 6,000 sub-entries providing Sanskrit equivalents where possible.
