Buddhist Terms

Some words cannot be translated by any app.

The language of Buddhism carries centuries of practice, philosophy, and living tradition within it. A single mistranslation can alter the meaning of a mantra, or leave you lost within a teaching that was meant to set you free.

This book was made for those who want to understand, not just recite.

Compiled by the Huiyan Translation Studio over years of careful scholarly work, Buddhist Terms presents essential Buddhist vocabulary in three languages side by side: Tibetan, Chinese, and English. Whether you are just beginning to explore the teachings or deepening a practice already underway, this is the reference you will return to again and again.

Compact enough to carry with you. Precise enough to trust.
