  Since 1996, over a dozen key lineage texts, some with several volumes, have been taught by Tibetan lineage masters at Nitartha Institute. From beginning to end, Nitartha Publications facilitates the transcribing of these teachings, the editing, copy editing, layout/design, proofreading, print production, and distribution of these translated works. Some manuscripts by our Nitartha translators have been published in the Nitartha Institute Series of books by Snow Lion Publications, as well as other publishers. Supplementary materials have also been produced to assist the learning process, including study guides, charts, flashcards, digital versions of course materials and text outlines, samples of formal Tibetan-style debate, and new translations of technical vocabulary. The design of these materials represents a significant pedagogical innovation, as the traditional monastic college curriculum is re-envisioned for a Western learning context. Show less
