Editing

With our ongoing editing project we are seeking to transcribe and edit Rinpoche's teachings into a cohesive and smoothly flowing written adaptation of his spoken words. This effort begins with the literal transcript. Recognizing that any spontaneous oral presentation will require editing for those who may read the transcript, Rinpoche has encouraged us to edit his spoken teachings into a written format that reads clearly and and concisely in English.

In reading Rinpoche's words, we do not enjoy the same advantages as those who were present in the room when Rinpoche shared his vibrant and eloquent teaching during a live program. Our task is to convey all of Rinpoche's meaning intact, maintaining his vitality and depth, while eliminating grammatical or idiomatic interference for the reader.

Our intention is to edit specific programs in their entirety, and to convey these written teachings as sangha publications available to Rinpoche's students.

As more editors are trained, and gain experience with the editing process, we will be able to make more of Rinpoche's teachings accessible in this form. If you would like to become a participant in this effort, and if you have a love of language, are poetically-inclined, or have prior editing experience, please contact us about your interest.
