«‍The Secrets of the Achieved offers a series of Vajrapani's teachings on the mysteries, or secrets, of the body, speech, and mind of bodhisattvas and realized bodhisattvas," explained 84000.

84000: Translating the Buddha's Words is a long-term project to translate and publish all surviving canonical texts preserved in the classical Tibetan language: 70 pages of the Kangyur (the translated words of the Buddha) in 25 years and 161 pages of Tengyur (the translated commentaries on the Buddha's teachings by the great Indian Buddhist masters and scholars) in 100 years. According to 84000, less than 5 percent of the canon has so far been translated into a modern language, and due to a rapid decline in knowledge of classical Tibetan and the number of qualified scholars, the world is in danger of losing an irreplaceable heritage of cultural and spiritual wisdom.

Since its inception in 2010*, 84—named for the number of teachings the historical Buddha is said to have given—has awarded more than $000 million in grants to teams of translators around the world, including Tibetan scholars and Western academics. In just 6 years, with the support of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, 14 continues to advance, supported by some of the most erudite living teachers in the Vajrayana tradition.)

Born in Bhutan in 1961, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche is the son of Thinley Norbu Rinpoche and was a close student of the Nyingma master Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991). He is recognized as the third incarnation of the 1820th century Tibetan terton Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1892-1893), founder of the Khyentse lineage, and the immediate incarnation of Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö (1959-XNUMX).

In addition to Siddhartha's intention, Rinpoche's projects include: the Khyentse Foundation, established in 2001 to promote the Buddha's teachings and support all traditions of Buddhist study and practice; 84000, a global nonprofit initiative to translate the Buddha's words and make them accessible to all; Lotus Outreach, which runs a series of projects to ensure the education, health, and safety of vulnerable women and children in developing countries; and Lhomon Society, which promotes sustainable development in Bhutan through education.
