Here is footage from a long-hidden Tibetan library going back thousands of years https://youtu.be/1JQVD3y44jk

The library has been hidden in a mountain and kept secret for centuries. It contains scrolls and books dating back thousands of years, some older than 5,000 years!

84000.co is a website aiming to bring ancient Buddhist texts online. In 2009, more than 50 of the world’s leading Tibetan Buddhist teachers, translators, and academics gathered in the foothills of the Indian Himalaya and started out with the project of translating Buddhist canonical texts, with particular focus on the challenges of translating the Tibetan Buddhist Canon.

The participants recognized that less than 5% of the Tibetan Buddhist canon had been translated into any modern language. It was also recognized that many of the tradition’s learned masters and scholars capable of accurately interpreting the texts were in their old age, or had already passed away. Essentially a preservation project, this sense of urgency coupled with the grand vision to make this archive of wisdom as easily accessible as possible.

80% if the texts have not yet been started on and accept donations on their website.
