Sugatagarbha Translation Group
Short description
The Sugatagarbha Translation Group is a coalition of translators dedicated to translating the important texts of Tibetan Buddhism into English, and facilitating their translation from English into many other languages. It is currently composed of Erick Tsiknopoulos and Mike Dickman.
Sugatagarbha is a Sanskrit word which refers to the Buddha Nature, the true nature of all beings. It literally means "womb of the Sugata" or "matrix of the Sugata". Sugata is another word for a buddha which means "one gone to bliss". Garbha means "womb" or "matrix".
The initial project of the Sugatagarbha Translation Group is the translation of the complete larger Sutra of Golden Light, encompassing both its 29 and 31 chapter versions.
