The well known American Mahayana teacher Ken Mcleod named his website "Unfettered Mind"
http://www.unfetteredmind.com/

I can't make head or tail of this guy, I bought his book years ago, (and tried to read it), no idea what it's about.
But translation, in general, is a BIG issue. See for instance the new thread in the Mahayana Buddhism Forum - called: Lost in translation where the argument is recounted that "noble truths" means in fact "pure philosophies", and that there's nothing noble about them, apart from the last one.
