Tibet Literature

Tibetan literature is ancient, vast and largely inaccessible to non-readers of Tibetan — which makes translations precious. Browse translations of classical Tibetan poetry, the epic of Gesar of Ling, wisdom literature and spiritual songs (dohas), modern Tibetan exile poetry and fiction, and anthologies of Tibetan writing in translation. Also find literary critical studies of Tibetan literature and the intersection of Buddhism and literary imagination in the Tibetan tradition.
