There are a total of 33 volumes in the Tsasum Lingpa Cycle. Of the 33 volumes, 11 have been printed. The 11 that have been printed include: 1. cho chhod 2. solka 3. khor day zil non 4. padma thrag thung tod cha 5. padma thrag thung men cha 6. phurba tod cha 7. phurba men cha 8. padma gyalpo 9. sangwa yeshe 10. thug drub tod cha 11. thug drub men cha. Presently, there are a total of 22 volumes that are yet to be published from the Tsasum Lingpa cycle. Also, yet to be published are 4 volumes from the Drimed Lingpa cycle and 8 volumes from Nubchen Sangye Yeshe, totaling 34 volumes yet to be printed. The cost of printing each volume (500 copies of each volume) is $2300. These 34 volumes have been entered onto the computer, however they still need to be edited and codified. Our goal is to be completely finished with this process and have all 34 volumes ready for print in 15 months. We plan to hire 6 skilled Khenpos from India and Nepal to come to Pharping and form an editing committee to proofread the texts. We plan to offer each Khenpo a salary of 450rs ($6.50) per day, totaling $17,550.00 (6 khenpos for 15 months). The food for each khenpo for one month is 1900rs ($27.00), totaling $2,430.00 (15 months for 6 khenpos). Other expenses include printer ink for editing each volume. Each volume uses one cartridge of ink (5,500rs or $79.00). The total for the ink cost is $2,686.00. Paper costs for editing is $391.00.
Breakdown of all expenses:
1. 34 Volumes	$78,200.00
2. Salary for 6 khenpos	$17,550.00
3. Food for 6 khenpos	$ 2,430.00
4. Printer Ink	$ 2,686.00
5. Paper	$ 391.00
GRAND TOTAL	$101,257.00
