Rangjung Yeshe Translations and Publications, located in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal is an ongoing project involved in compiling Buddhist terminology and translation terms to bridge the Tibetan and English languages, this Buddhist dictionary helps translation of Dharma terminology. Begun in 1979, it has slowly grown to a collection of more than 276,000 entries. Comparatively, the original Tibetan-English Dictionary of Sarat Chandra Das had approximately 27,000 entries. The current version includes the dictionary of James Valby and Ives Waldo, and the vocabulary of Richard Barron.
