Tibetan Buddhist texts

Tibetan Buddhist texts are ancient writings that convey teachings on meditation, ethics, philosophy, and spiritual practice specific to Tibetan Buddhism. They often include sutras (scriptures of Buddha’s teachings), commentaries, ritual instructions, and texts like the Tibetan Book of the Dead. These texts serve as guides for practitioners seeking enlightenment, emphasizing compassion, mindfulness, and understanding of the nature of mind and reality. They are written in complex, poetic language, often accompanied by visual symbolism, and are preserved through translations and commentaries to make esoteric ideas accessible while maintaining their depth.
