Equals an image of the Buddha:
Therefore a wise person
Should write down the Tripitaka.[/i][/size][/center]
[center][size=5][i]In the Dharma of the Buddha
There are 84000 teachings
Therefore, where there is a Tripitaka
There will be 84000 Buddhas.”[/i][/size][/center]

[b]84000[/b] is an auspicious number symbolising the infinity and vastness of the Buddha’s teachings. The Buddha is said to have taught more than 84000 methods to transcend our myriad suffering and to attain true peace. Picked by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, head of our working committee, 84000 represents and encapsulates the magnitude of the task that lies in front of us––to translate the vast collection of the Buddha’s teachings within a definite and specific time period.
