The Tibetan Archives
| The Tibetan literature,
emerging in the 7th century, covers, in addition to the rich corpus of
religious texts, a wide range of literature from legend and tales, to historiography
and philosophy. These documents were mainly kept by monasteries where there
were subject of research and of tools of furthering Tibetan culture and
traditions. An important part of this documentary heritage is now under
the custodianship of the Tibetan Regional Archives. The archival holdings
reflect the political, economic, religious and cultural life of the Tibetan
people. |
