Jonang Publication Series III

The Jonang Publication Series (Jo nang dpe tshogs) is an annual series dedicated to making select sutra and tantra works available from all genres of the Jonang literary tradition. Each Tibetan text in this series of important Buddhist classics was chosen from the corpus of Jonang Tibetan Buddhist literature to reflect the contemporary scholastic curriculum within Jonang monasteries inside Tibet. Texts were carefully input for publication from rare manuscripts by Jonang scholars and monks as part of this ongoing project.

These Jonang books were selected and edited under The Jonang Standing Council in association with Jonang Foundation, and are being made available for purchase here.
