<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The late Khenchen Appey Rinpoche
(1927-2010), the founder of the <a href="http://www.sakyaiba.edu.np/" target="_blank">International Buddhist Academy</a> (IBA), was a teacher of teachers renowned for
his mastery of both sutra and tantra. His vision and compassion
inspired us to form the Chödung Karmo Translation Group in order to
make Dharma more accessible to the world. Rinpoche selected <b>over 20 essential Tibetan treatises</b> for us to translate into English and other languages. The
authors of those texts include some of the greatest luminaries of Tibet
such as Sakya Pandita, Rongtön Sheja Kunrig and Gorampa Sönam Senge. We
are excited that this immense wealth of
Buddhist philosophy and practice from old Tibet will soon be available
to a worldwide modern audience. These texts cover most fields of
traditional Buddhist scholarship (listed below) as well as practice
texts immediately accessible to a general audience.</span><br />
