In July 2021, 84000 partnered with UCSB to establish the Buddhist Texts Translation Initiative at the University’s Department of Religious Studies. The initiative provides funding for students engaged in 84000 translation projects. Dr. Nathaniel Rich and Dr. Rory Lindsay, research editors at 84000, joined the initiative as visiting scholars working closely with its directors, Dr. José I. Cabezón and Dr. Vesna A. Wallace, to guide various translation groups and to develop and implement a range of public lectures and workshops that promote the study of canonical Buddhist texts.
