Snow Lion Publications
Snow Lion Publications, Ithaca, NY, USA
Self-description: "A press [est. 1980] devoted to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture. The original idea was to present translations from all the schools of Tibetan Buddhism and to publish academic as well as popular titles. The editors were particularly interested in publishing monastic textbooks from the various traditions. The first manuscripts offered were primarily from Glenn Mullin, Jeffrey Hopkins, and his students at the University of Virginia, the foremost academic program in the West for Tibetan Buddhist studies. [Since then] Snow Lion has gone on to become the largest press devoted to Tibetan Buddhism, having published over 150 titles on Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism (printing over one million copies) and distributing over 500 titles published by other presses. In addition, Snow Lion distributes hundreds of video- and audio tapes of teachings by Tibetan lamas [and other materials] connected to Tibetan culture."
