Definition: Himalayan Art : Himalayan Art is art that is indigenous to the Himalayas, predominantly Tibet and Nepal, and the areas under the cultural sway of these cultures. Himalayan art is primarily concerned with religious subjects and is recognizable through the use of composition, symbols and motifs. Individual works of art are commonly created in sets forming much larger works of art.Geography: The Himalayas include the Tibetan Plateau, Nepal, Bhutan and the northern most regions of India and Pakistan. The surrounding geographic regions are China, Mongolia, southern Siberia, Tuva, Buryatia and northern Burma, all of which are to the north and east of the Tibetan Plateau. Himalayan art is especially found throughout China. The very center of China's capital city in Beijing is Beihai, a Himalayan style stupa and reliquary mound. Along the Pacific Ocean at locations such as Hangzhou south of Shanghai, Himalayan art from the Yuan period can be found in abundance.

Facts and Questions: http://www.tbrc.org/help/faq.xq
Major Important issue to me:
Q: Does TBRC provide printed texts? A: No. However, TBRC has a close affiliation with Palri Parkhang , which is a small organization that prints pecha style texts from TBRC digital images (digital woodblocks). In addition, in many cases, interested parties can obtain TBRC digital texts and make arrangements on their own for paper copies.
Q: Do you have any texts in English? A: No.
Q: Does TBRC do translations? A: No.
Q: Does TBRC do research (texts, terminology, location of a title, etc.)?
A: No. We provide the resource not the service.
They do have a program for IBM and Mac for the correct apearance of the language.
I had the opportunity to learn sanskrit but got discouraged when a friend said it would be impossible for me to learn it as it was so ancient! But it is still a goal.
