Sakya Library Texts Dataset

Description

This dataset contains the digitized texts from the Sakya Library, which are openly available on their official website. The Sakya Library is an esteemed repository of Tibetan Buddhist literature associated with the Sakya tradition.

The texts cover a range of topics and have been digitized as part of an effort to preserve and share these invaluable resources. This dataset is an unofficial compilation and is not directly affiliated with the Sakya Monastery or its official digital library. It includes only texts that are publicly accessible and excludes those intended solely for practitioners guided by a Lama.

Please note that these texts contain religious content, so I ask you to treat this with respect.
