Buddhist Civilization in Tibet by Tulku Thondup Rinpoche is a comprehensive reference work that surveys Tibetan Buddhism, its history, and its literature in a single volume. The book is divided into two parts: the first provides an overview of Tibetan Buddhism and details the four major schools (Nyingma, Kagyud, Sakya, and Gelug), while the second part offers an introduction to both religious and secular Tibetan literature. Originally published in 1987, the book is considered a valuable resource for English-speaking students of Tibetan culture and religion
