The
Library at Gampo Abbey
Knowledge
and understanding of Buddhism arises from several sources
including studying the texts and interpretations of traditional
texts. Gampo Abbey houses an extensive library with approximately
3,000 published titles. The library is used for 3 primary
purposes- general interest browsing by residents and visitors,
support of study programs like the Shedra
and increasingly as a site for primary materials for those
interested in doing research.
In addition to published materials like the complete published
works of Choygam Trungpa Rinpoche, the library holds a
large collection of transcripts by other Rinpoche's including
Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche, Ponlop Rinpoche and Khenpo
Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche. Work is underway to collect
and develop an electronic library of original translations
as well as information on Buddhist teachings on the Internet.
