For more that forty years our translators like Adriano Clemente, Elio Guarisco and Jim Valby have dedicated their time, energy and knowledge to translate these sometimes very cryptic texts into English.
Due to their extraordinary work we, who do not have the capacity to understand Tibetan in the correct way, have access to this outstanding knowledge of Tibetan Masters, which is such a precious gift for all generations.
