bdrc.io/blog/2024/01/23/ai-p… Great article about Geshe Monlam's visit to BDRC last week. He was also at BAIR on Thursday which was great. So many exciting things to work on, and Geshe is a true visionary when it comes to applying technology to Buddhist material.

Josef Kolmaš's "The Iconography of the Derge Kanjur & Tanjur" (1978) is "a work of implicit meaning bound to leave a deep & lasting impression of Asia," according to Lokesh Chandra. The OI owns several original prints of the Derge canon in its rare collections. #OI100 #OI100days
