Changchub Dorje's Termas Preservation Project

Changchub Dorje, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu’s teacher of Dzogchen and Tibetan Medicine, was quite prolific and left behind a legacy of about 60 books, spanning in content from Tibetan Buddhism to traditional Tibetan medicine and astrology. This project underwrites the digitization of his handwritten books. Each book averages about 500 pages.  

The Institute has in the past supported the work of scholars whose work makes a significant contribution to a deeper understanding of Tibetan history, such as John Vincent Bellezza, author of the recently published Divine Dyads: Ancient Civilization in Tibet, Dr. Jim Valby, and Elio Guarisco.
