Bruno Lainé (University of Vienna): Resources for Kanjur and Tanjur Studies: A Navigation Tool in the Tibetan Canonical Literature

12 April 2023

16:00 April 12, 2023. ESA-Ost, Raum 120 & via Zoom.

The Resources for Kanjur and Tanjur Studies (rKTs) is dedicated to making research on Tibetan Buddhist canonical collections openly accessible. The website provides comprehensive tools for studying canonical literature in more than 100 Kanjurs, Tanjurs, Tantra collections, and other collections of canonical literature. These include online catalogues, searchable e-texts, and an extensive archive of images of Tibetan manuscripts. The various databases are compiled and maintained by the members of the Tibetan Manuscript Project Vienna (TMPV), located at the Department of South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies, University of Vienna (Austria).

In this presentation, I will explain how to efficiently use the tools contained in the rKTs archive with a focus on searching titles and quotations of Tibetan canonical literature.
