Tibetan Texts and Sutras





This web page links to sources of Tibetan texts and sutras.

From the web page:
The Tibetan canon of essential Buddhist scripture consists of two parts:

The Kangyur ("Translation of the Buddha's Word")--the texts that are attributed to the Buddha. Esteemed and woshipped for centuries in Tibet, it is regarded as the single most authoritative repository of Buddhist thought by Tibetan speakers throughout Asia and beyond.

The Tengyur ("Translations of treatises")--traditional commentaries attributed to subsequent learned and realized masters of Buddhism.

Buddhist Digital Resource Center




"BDRC has developed a series of strategically aligned programs to implement its expanded mission. In the coming years, BDRC will:
  1. Identify important Buddhist text collections as recommended by our Board of Advisors and create a definitive plan for their preservation.
  2. Build the Buddhist Universal Digital Archive, an encompassing digital repository and preservation ecosystem to archive and connect many Buddhist text collections in many different languages, starting with Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Tibetan. BUDA will include:
    • A central bibliographic database for Buddhist texts based on linked open data.
    • A digital archive scanned source texts and searchable eTexts.
  3. Create an open platform for accessing, sharing and searching the archive using state of the art digital library methodologies.
  4. Foster a community of scholars, technologists, practitioners, and a global public committed to preservation."
