TBRC
promotes research and scholarship in Tibetan Buddhism and uses technology
to advance the preservation of the Tibetan cultural heritage by making
its literary tradition widely available in the form of digital images. Palri Parkhang - Glorious
Mountain Printery A heart project of the Tibetan
Buddhist Reource Center (TBRC) and Bodhi Foundation—Palri
Parkhang was established to fulfill the shared dream of revitalizing
a vast collection of historical and rare Tibetan books. Palri Parkhang
aspires to restore and republish TBRC's comprehensive collection as
the Wisdom Masters Digital Library, providing easy access in the form
of digital eBooks, printable image files and hardcopy
texts for the purpose of supporting the research, study and practice
of the Tibetan culture and its spiritual traditions. Utilizing TBRC's
digital archives as the root library, the process begins with raw image
scans of the physical pecha pages and, with the use of image manipulation
software; each page is archived and restored to a printable/digital
format. Working closely with TBRC
and the Khyentse Foundation, Bodhi Foundation hopes to establish a computing
facility in the Kingdom of Bhutan. This facility would perform the detailed
restoration resulting in libraries holding thousands of amazing works
representing all the great Tibetan buddhist traditions. The raw archive
library, currently available to scholors, teachers and others at www.tbrc.org,
comprise more than 2 terabytes of data and 5 million pages. The generous efforts of the
project's supporters have brought more than 400 titles back into print—each
of which can be reproduced with the push of a button or delivered anywhere
in the world on CD for printing locally. Palri Parkhang's current catalog
of reproduced works can be viewed at www.parkhang.org. To find out more about the
