The Shang Shung Institute is pleased to sponsor in part the production of this catalog for Smith College's Tibetan Literary Arts Exhibit, curated by Marit Cranmer, in honor of the visit of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso in 2007.

This exhibition was a modest attempt to introduce a few of the treasures within the vast and extraordinary field of Tibetan literature. As noted in the included essays, Tibet's written tradition has a rich history full of complexity that is only recently becoming known in the West. And its poetry, valuing as it does wisdom and intrinsic awareness, stands with the great world poetry of the human spirit.
