  • Because of Paul I lived with an old Tibetan Abbot for 12 years [in New Zealand]. Paul is very able in many Asian languages & philosophies

    I want to teach my daughter [1/2 Mongolian] about her own culture. There are archaic dictionaries of Tibetan, Sanskrit, Mongolian….are there modern ones? With English & Russian? Will I have to put it together myself?

  • This is great. I've read many of Paul's papers and seen others refer to him, but it's cool to see him talking about his work like this. Looking forward to his new translations of the Diamond Sutra!
