Tibetan cultural area comprises Tibetan script and Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism, in particular, spreads much wider than the scope of Tibet. My research focuses on Tibetan Buddhism at the beginning of the Middle Ages in Tibet (from the tenth to the thirteenth century), which was the foundation period for Tibetan cultural area. This period is called as the “Tibetan Renaissance” by modern scholar because of the many sutras that were translated from Sanskrit to Tibetan at this time and the consequent establishment of Tibetan Buddhist schools, such as the Kadam, Kagyu, and Sakya. However, because of the lack of contemporary historic materials on this period, this time is also known as a “period of fragmentation.” Therefore, my research seeks to clarify this “period of fragmentation” using relevant, newly discovered Tibetan manuscripts and field research in Tibet.
