Sakya Monastery Library - Tibet

 


This manuscript library was found sealed up in a wall 60 meters long and 10 meters high in Tibet containing 84,000 secret manuscripts (books), which include 10,000 years of human history.


Most of them will likely prove to be Buddhist scriptures, but there may well also be works of literature, history, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics and art.


The Sakya Monastery was founded in 1073
