Best news in days: an impressive Tibetan reading room opened within UVA's newly renovated Edgar Shannon Library. Worthy of a name like བཤད་སྒྲུབ་ནོར་བུ་དགའ་ཚལ or ངེས་དོན་དགའ་བའི་ཚལ

March 14, 2025 is a major Buddhist holiday known as the Display of Miracles (ཆོ་འཕྲུལ་དུས་ཆེན Chotrul Düchen). BDRC is celebrating with the publication of a collection that is something of a modern day miracle: prints of a new set of woodblocks of the Nyingma Gyubum recently carved in Derge, Tibet.
(L to R) Anam Thubten and Chakhung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche at the Abhaya Fellowship in El Cerrito, CA All 26 volumes of the Derge Edition of the Nyingma Gyubum.

I think LOTS more freezes are forthcoming in the next few days, including from institutions with enormous endowments that haven’t been announced yet. The slow-moving higher ed crisis is now a landslide. Hard to envision a recovery of the U.S.’s university system…

I was shocked to know that Harvard froze a Japanese collection librarian post at the Yenching Library due to the Federal budget cut☹️
