Sometimes, hearing is already a beginning. This morning, Venerable Thubten Chodron reminded us why resounding the sūtra matters: even when we do not fully understand the Dharma, hearing the Buddha’s words plants virtuous seeds in the mindstream—seeds that may ripen when the conditions come together

A gateway to encountering the Buddha’s words. The Reading Room is where readers can explore 84000’s growing collection of published translations from the Tibetan Buddhist canon, including the Kangyur, the collected scriptures regarded as the words of the Buddha, and the Tengyur,

A gateway for deeper study and research. The Scholar's Room is designed for scholars, translators, teachers, and serious students working with the Tibetan Buddhist canon. #newchapters Check out the Scholar's Room 👉🏻 scholar.84000.co

A renewed vision and mission for 84000. For more than 15 years, 84000 has worked to translate, preserve, and make the Tibetan Buddhist canon freely available. As this work enters a new chapter, our vision is: Planting seeds of awakening for a changing world. #newchapter

A good seed needs the right conditions to grow. More than 15 years later, the aspiration behind 84000 continues to take root in new ways. As we prepare to begin a new phase, this passage from The Chapter on Medicines feels especially fitting. #StayTuned

A new chapter is opening. For more than 15 years, 84000 has worked to translate and make the Buddha’s words freely available. Soon, this work will take on a new expression—one shaped by access, authenticity, and the wish that these teachings remain a living source of wisdom for a changing world.

#RealBuddhaQuotes It’s easy to get lost in everything going on in our heads. But sometimes, just coming back to the body—even for a moment—can bring a kind of quiet we didn’t realize we needed.

“These teachings are not written the way modern self-help books are written.” We’re used to reading quickly—expecting things to make sense right away.

With deep gratitude, 84000 is celebrating a significant milestone. 50% of the Kangyur is now published and freely available on the 84000 website. At the same time, 80% has now been translated.

#RealBuddhaQuotes A reminder that things don’t stay. Not the teachings, not the time we think we have. So even a small effort begins to feel significant.

Have you ever felt, “after years of practicing, I’m still angry, jealous, paranoid. My distractions are not removable.” Watch the #OutwittingDistractions series on YouTube, where Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche speaks to this, and gradually reveals how distraction can be outwitted.

Now available: Toh 497 / Toh 999, The Dhāraṇī of the Eight Goddesses. A new translation, joining the collection. Read it 👉🏻 reader.84000.co/toh497

#RealBuddhaQuotes A small aspiration for today: to see things a little more clearly, to act with kindness where we can, and to let wisdom guide even the smallest moments. Sometimes a simple intention is already a powerful start.

We spend a lot of time worrying about what others think. But what if most of that worry is something we’ve created ourselves? In this #ReelWisdom, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche reflects on how paranoia, anxiety, and self-centred habits shape the world we experience. #OutwittingDistractions
