Dearest friends and supporters of the translation projects of the Shang Shung Institute Austria,

Here is some information about our latest activity:

the training for new editors in order to guarantee the continuation of the publishing of the teachings of our Master in the future.

This activity is a collaboration between the Ka-Ter Translation Project of the Shang Shung Institute Austria and Shang Shung Publications.

The new EDITORS are

         Experts, who are

         Diligent and dedicated to the teachings.

The new candidates are participating in an

         Intensive training in order to become able to edit the

         Translations done by our main translators Adriano Clemente and Elio Guarisco of the

         Original texts of

         Rinpoche and other great masters.

As it is crucial that books published by Shang Shung Publications are worthy of their precious and unique content, it is necessary to meet high standards of editing. Due to the specialized nature of this work, Shang Sung Institute Austria in collaboration with the Shang Shung Publication already started with the online editor training program at the end of April 2019.

Eight candidates were already chosen to become editors for English language, four were chosen for Italian language. The training is held by the senior editors Nancy Simmons and Susan Schwarz for English editing, and Igor Legati for Italian editing. The training will last for six months.

After this first six months training, two future editors for the English language and one for the Italian language will be selected to participate to the second phase of the training. The three trainees selected will have the possibility to work as JUNIOR EDITORS to complete their training course. Under the guidance of the senor editors they will collaborate to edit a book.

Here is the plan for the books they will work on, including the expected date of publication:
