Conservation

The library's objective is to gather texts related to the Buddha's teachings.
Our priority is the preservation of Buddhist texts of Tibetan and Indian origin, especially those of the Kagyu lineage. Our secondary goal is to offer a representative compilation of Buddhist literature.
According to Lama Jigmé Rinpoché:
Until the mid 20th century, when a dharma piece was published, it had to be ‘authorized’ first. One could not just decide by oneself to write a commentary about the Dharma.
Each work, each commentary was debated by scholars who discussed and criticized it. The text was transformed and remodeled until its meaning was just and perfect.

This is why texts written in the past are so very essential.

These texts are the foundation of transmission and of every aspect of practice; they cover many different branches, from philosophy to Buddhist theory to practical guidelines for meditation practice.
They include basic teachings that everyone can understand, foundations of learning and meditation, as well as instructions that take the practitioner’s understanding of Buddhism much deeper.
