Glossaries

NOTE: Though I had intended to include comprehensive English-Sanskrit-Tibetan glossaries here, as a contribution to the further development of esoteric Buddhist lexicography, limitations of space and time have rendered this impracticable.

A tilde (~) before Tibetan entries indicates an attested equivalent that I judge to be either erroneous or imperfect.
