*****************************************
Dear Translators and Editors around the world
How are you doing? I have finally come back from my six-month business trip. Now, I don't have to struggle to find GM's books.
Anyway, let's get to the business! Lately, I am proofreading the True Buddha Precious Repentance, and I cannot help but notice the different spellings that we have used throughout the translations. I have discussed the issue with Janny Chow also. We both have agreed to use the terms listed below. Please see the following list and use them if you can. The last thing we want to do is to confuse the poor readers
#1 Grand Master's full name
Please translate it as
Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Sheng-yen Lu
notice two gs!!!
?
#2 "Rey Tseng Temple" or "Ray Tseng Temple" or what have you. Please use Hanyu pin yin "Lei Zang [Thunder Store] Temple" unless temples have their own name such as Purple Lotus Temple.
#3 I have seen Golden Mother's full name translated
differently. From now, please use
Golden Mother of Jade Pond
#4 same thing for "Maha Twin Lotus Ponds", please don't use
"Great Double Lotus Ponds"
I realize that there are more confusing terms. If you have any concern, please email to the group.
More to come!
