Welcome to the website of the Sakya Resource Centre (SRC)

The present site is devoted to the study of the Sakya school, one of the major religious traditions within Tibetan Buddhism.

Launched by dedicated students (undergraduate and doctoral) of Tibetan studies who do research on prominent Sakyapa masters (see also Current Research Projects), the website provides access to scholarly resources and distributes free e-texts that are useful for religious-historical research on the Sakya tradition and its representatives.

It highlights valuable research tools that are available via the web, and has begun to host a collection of significant texts in digital form. At present, our inputted text material focuses on the Sakyapa-s during the late fourteenth and fifteenth century, a period characterized by a still-ongoing doctrical exchange between the different traditions that gave rise to numerous saints and scholars.

In future, we aim to provide a comprehensive research platform and plan to extend our text input activity and cooperation with researchers and institutions in order to build up a free digital text archive for research and reference into the Sakya tradition.

For questions or suggestions pertaining to this website, please contact the Sakya Resource Centre at info[at]sakya-resource.de. We also ask you to contact us if you notice any errors in the e-texts.
