Example text
Instead, we should try to find a word in our own language that fits the source language, Sanskrit, where possible. If one cannot be found, we might consider doing what the Tibetans did, which is to make our own word. Certainly, the English language, with its wide range of roots, is eminently suited to that task. The Tibetan rationales for translation should be studied in conjunction with this because they will inform the work. Once we have selected or created our word, we must—as I have done here—write a rationale for that.
If we can manage to do it, we can gain access to an extraordinary body of conceptual knowledge. Moreover, this discipline, because it is being developed in relation to an expression of fundamental reality, can lead to a sudden flash of non-dualistic knowledge. The words of dharma, with all their precision and excellence, are only intended 54 UNENDING AUSPICIOUSNESS as a cause that will remove the coverings of dualistic mind.

Differences of Translation and Explanation of the Sutra The previous section focussed on the rationales of Tibetan translation that appear in the course of examining the Sutra and how they can be used to inform the work of translation into other languages. There are also, as mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, other aspects to this Sutra and its commentaries that are useful for translators.
