The Shantarakshita Library is a vital hub and heart of the Institute. Its name, taken after a renowned Indian pandita, is a constant reminder of the unparalleled contribution made by this great Buddhist scholar to the development of Buddhism on the Tibetan plateau. One of the most advanced set ups of the Institute, the library houses the state of the art facilities for the students and researchers, advanced ICT set up, an in-house multimedia section, etc. But the heart of the building is the place where the complete set of Kangyur and Tengyur has been kept, graciously donated by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.
Located in a four storey building in the centre of the campus, the library is increasingly attracting scholars from India and abroad. It would not be an exaggeration to say that some scholars only come to the Institute to visit its rich heritage housed in the library.
