R.B.T.R. Department

Projects Completed

The work of editing and publishing Buddhist Sanskrit Tantric texts began even before the formal inception of the RBTRD. Prof. Jagannath Upadhyaya, the founder and the first Project Director of RBTRD (formerly called “Rare Buddhist Texts Research Project”) undertook a special research project of critically editing, for the first time, the Vimalaprabha the encyclopedic commentary on the celebrated “Kalachakra Tantra”. The first volume of the text edited by him was published and released in December 1985, at the hands of H.H. the Dalai Lama, on the auspicious occasion of the Kalachakra Initiation Ceremony held at Bodh Gaya. After the sad and sudden demise of Prof. Upadhyaya, the remaining text was edited and published in two more volumes by RBTRD. The first volume, included separately in the list of publications of the Institute (Bibliotheca Indo-Tibetica Series No. XI), has been out of print for quite a long time. A new revised critical edition of the entire text along with a critical edition of its Tibetan translation is underway. The RBTRD has so far critically edited and published a number of Buddhist Tantric texts in the original Sanskrit, with their Tibetan translations in a short span of time, under the Rare Buddhist Texts Series.
