In 2003, a significant discovery was made in the Sakya Monastery in Tibet. An ancient library containing a vast collection of 84,000 secret manuscripts was uncovered. These manuscripts, which are over 1,000 years old, are stored on traditional stacks measuring 60 meters in length and 10 meters in height. This extraordinary find offers a unique window into the history and culture of the region.
The Sakya Monastery, founded in 1073 by Konchok Gyelpo, is one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. The discovery of this ancient library within its walls has provided a wealth of information and insight into the development of this religious tradition and the history of the region.
