Donations for the Translation of the DaoZang

Why Donate?

We are the only people who have taken on the obligation to decipher and make available the complete Daoist Canon, in a neutral translation made directly from the 1445 edition of ZhengTong. This site and the translations it provides will grow entirely through your donations.

The donations are directly forwarded to us by Hastings Research, a company that has previously published Norman Goundry's papers, and which is hosting this web site at no charge. Donations are entirely spent on:

Funding the translations. Our largest expense is travelling to the University of British Columbia, and there making copies of their original printing from the Yi Wen edition of 1961. While the university graciously charges us student rates for copying, the cost of copying 84,000 pages adds up.

Current funding needed: none. We presently have enough photocopies to translate two more books.
Expanding this web site. While Hastings Research provides us with free hosting and IT services, they do not provide design or indexing work.

Current funding needed as of February 14, 2012: USD 370.00 for layout improvements, and especially for HTML indexes to the first two books published.

Alternatively, cheques or money orders in U.S. or Canadian funds made out to 'Norman Goundry', can be mailed to us at this address:
