Mission

The Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center (TBRC) is dedicated to the preservation, organization, and dissemination of Tibetan literature.

TBRC combines advanced digital technology and scholarship to ensure that the treasures of the Tibetan literary tradition are not lost and are available for future generations.

Sky Treasure Matching Grant

In 2012 we have received a generous matching grant from an inspired patron, our Sky Treasure Matching Grant.

The grantor will match donations up to $100,000 each year for the next three years.  Every dollar given to TBRC will be matched.  Your giving directly impacts our mission to help sustain the Tibetan wisdom heritage.

Sky Treasure is a translation of the Tibetan word, ནམ་མཁཨའ་མཛོད།, nam mkha’ mdzod — or  inexhaustible treasure.  The TBRC Library makes more than sixteen thousand volumes (or more than nine million pages) of Tibetan texts accessible via the Internet.  This modern Tibetan library is a Sky Treasure.

Your donation will help us to continue in E. Gene Smith’s vision to develop our online library and share these textual treasures around the world.
