This website - TibetanResearch.org - has been set up and is directed and edited by Elaine M. Robson.

The purpose of the site is to introduce readers interested in studying Tibetan Buddhism and other Faiths, to a wider selection of articles than perhaps would normally be available on a single site.

Two non-profit charities - Rotoiti Project and HIMLIT - are both actively involved in supporting this relatively new area of research.

 
Areas of research include:
• Promotion of literacy workshops in Himalayan languages worldwide.
• Sponsoring R.O.W. (Research on Words) seminars and classes.
• Translation and publication of text books, study books, and fiction.
• Publishing research papers (college/university level) related to inter-faith dialogue (viz. Buddhism and Christianity).
 
 
This website will be updated regularly and articles of interest to our readers will be posted from time to time. We are grateful to those who support us with their donations and free will offerings. Our work is entirely funded by friends who believe it has a role to play in our world today.
As you scroll down this page you will be able to read:
A) News reports
B)

 User-friendly practical articles related to inter-religious dialogue (presented in a non-academic format)
C) Academic articles from various sources

A) News Reports

December 2005 'A request has been received'

A request has just been received to help with raising financial support to enable a mature Tibetan scholar to study for a Master's degree at a U.K. University.

The title of the proposal is, 'The historical significance of the first engagement between Tibetan Buddhism and Christianity' This is a topic that I think will be very interesting, especially since it will be tackled by a Tibetan from a Buddhist background. ** [£15,000 pounds (US $ 25,000) is required]**.

Thank you for allowing me to share this need with you.

I would urge our readers to please help this Tibetan scholar, and others in the future, to achieve success. If you are able to help kindly send your gift to one of the charitable addresses listed on this web page, or alternatively donate by PayPal.
