I am a translator and researcher based in Boudhanath. Basically I work on history, and have specialised in literature related to holy places and monuments. My major work is an extensive commentary on 'Jam dbyangs mkhyen brtse's Guide to Central Tibet, which I hope to get published soon.

Out of historical interest in the life of mKhyen brtse'i dbang po (rather than any religious qualification) I have recently completed a translation of his "U dum ba ra'i dga' tshal" biography by 'Jam mgon kong sprul. I have gone for a literal rendering, preserving the flavour of the original, although this is slightly heavygoing in English. I am still trying to elaborate the context as much as I can in brief annotations, and welcome input or comments from anyone familiar with the material. Again I hope to publish soon.
