Tibetan and Himalayan Library - THL

Description: Aims to be a comprehensive resource on classical literary Tibetan and terminology used in Buddhist literature. Its definitions are admirably well organized and consistent in quality, since Mr. Duff has been the single author of the dictionary from its inception to present. In addition, definitions are often given at length, with a useful concern to detail the straightforward and interpretative etymologies of words as well. The digital format renders opens up utilities not found in print dictionaries, and the constant updates means the dictionary grows and expands over time.
