China includes numerous Tibetan texts. Among them an outstandingly important manuscript for the genesis of Tibet's Tantric Buddhism has been identified: leading historians believe this beautifully preserved substantial volume contains the earliest example of a complete Tantric scripture traditionally classified as indigenously Tibetan; accompanied by the only really likely extant work by Padmasambhava, legendary founder of Tibetan Buddhism. Difficult material, it has not so far been accessible; our highly specialised team is now ready to tackle it. We will make critical editions, translations, and comparative studies.
