Vajrayana or tantric Buddhist Text Translations

Requiring an Empowerment.

You may pass these texts on to others who are qualified.  You may not publish them commercially.  All rights reserved except as specifically stated.

At the heart of Tibetan Buddhism is a system where texts and practices are distributed only to those who have been empowered in them by a qualified teacher, and then not passed on to others or even discussed openly in detail.  It is said that otherwise their power to do benefit is lost and instead they are likely to do a lot of harm.  Therefore, I cannot distribute these texts openly, or at least without getting permission, which hasn't happened  This may change, since many vajrayana texts are being published nowadays.

The  following are not links.  The following texts are available  only by Email request, telling the details of who gave the  necessary empowerment to the requester.  Instructions will be sent to qualified persons for downloading in any of the following formats:  

ASCII (plain text) zipped,

WordPerfect 5.1 self-extracting zip,

RTF self-extracting zip,

MSWORD5.0 for MAC zipped.

 If you can't use any of these, email and I'll see if I can provide what you need.
