It is a honor and joy to share translations of the writings of enlightened masters with you, readers from all over the world. 

Here is a list of my published translation work, please have a look.
I plan to post some unpublished translations and prepare a few new books I have in mind.

Each book title will links to where I tell a little about the book and the understanding it helped me to find. ​I will also be happy to hear from you about which books have meant the most to you.

 

Warmest wishes,

Erik Pema Kunsang
