The Buddhist Scriptures, preserved in the Sanctum of The Great Library of Alexandria, represent a priceless inheritance of spiritual wisdom for humanity, embodying the teachings and philosophies central to Buddhism. Originating from diverse cultures and languages such as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese, these sacred texts span the Tipiṭaka, which includes the Sutta Piṭaka (discourses by the Buddha), Vinaya Pitaka (monastic rules), and Abhidhamma Pitaka (metaphysical treatises), as well as Mahāyāna sutras like the The Heart Sutra and The Lotus Sūtra, and Tibetan Buddhist texts like the Bardo Thödol, which is The Tibetan Book of the Dead. The collection serves as a comprehensive repository for understanding not just the core tenets of Buddhism—such as The Four Noble Truths, The Eightfold Path, and the concept of Nirvāṇa—but also the numerous schools and interpretations that have emerged over more than two millennia.

These scriptures have been meticulously preserved in The Great Library of Alexandria’s Sanctum, providing an eternal resource for scholars, practitioners, and spiritual seekers interested in the path of enlightenment and compassion.
