The Rangjung Yeshe Tibetan-English Dharma Dictionary
Rangjung Yeshe Publications, Nepal & Nitartha International
Self-description:
"The Dharma Dictionary is an ongoing project involved in
compiling Buddhist terminology and translation terms to
bridge the Tibetan and English languages. Begun in 1979, it
has slowly grown to a database of approx 5 megabytes more
than 66,000 entries. [...]
The Dictionary is a compilation of:
* verified entries from existing dictionaries, word-lists and
glossaries selected on a practical usage basis;
* terminology used by translators of the present day who have
received extensive teachings from living Buddhist masters;
* selected definitions and clarifications from classical literary
works;
* information of literary personages, sacred places, and names
of scriptures."
[The work is also published on CD ROM. It includes v.fast searching software for
Windows 95. Also included is Jim Valby's own Tibetan-English
Dictionary for DOS, Leonardo Gribaudo's database format which displays the
dictionary in Tibetan script, and the dictionary in Mac format. For further details
