A very important aspect of the activity of our Association is translation and publication of Buddhist sadhanas, classic commentaries and books with our lamas’ teachings.
The group of translators and editors has been working for many years already and still is getting bigger. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche named this group ‘Benchen Arya Tara Translation Group’. Current members of this group are:
- Lama Rinchen,
- Agnieszka Zych,
- Adam Kozieł,
- Ewa Urbanik,
- Ireneusz Maślarz,
- Joanna Grabiak-Pasiok,
- Lama Ewa Bugajska,
- Liliana Skoczylas,
- Natasza Goerke,
- Lama Igor Makarov.

From 1995 till 2001 we were publishing a bulletin called Mönsel. Its circulation was about 200 copies and was for internal use only. It included teachings by lamas, interviews with them, biographies of Tibetan and Indian masters as well as news from the Buddhist world. The title of the bulletin was chosen by venerable Tenga Rinpoche. "Mönsel" means in Tibetan: "One that dispels the darkness". From 1995 thirteen issues of the bulletin have been published, last one in 2001.
