The Idea
Study the texts. Not summaries of them.
About
Chitta is a growing library of classical Tibetan Buddhist texts — built for practitioners who want to engage directly with the source material, not watered-down summaries. Every text is prepared in consultation with Geshe-las. Translations are verified. Tibetan script is preserved.
Built by Buddhist students and practitioners who wanted a serious study tool rooted in the tradition. Chitta is a study companion, not a substitute for a teacher — for questions of practice, realization, or personal guidance, consulting a qualified teacher is always encouraged.
