Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

If you cannot find the letters on your key-board, you may click on the link "Diacritica" to access it for your search.

“Which sutras are those of explicit meaning, and which sutras are those of implicit meaning? Those sutras that provide access to the path are known as implicit. Those sutras that provide access to the fruits of the path are known as explicit. Those sutras that bring out the relative truth are known as implicit. Those sutras that indicate the ultimate truth are known as explicit.
“Furthermore, those sutras that deal with the processes of action are known as implicit. Those sutras that provide instructions for the elimination of action and the vices are known as explicit.
