The Works of Tsongkhapa: English Translations

Tsongkhapa’s works are here listed primarily by category. Tibetan texts typically have one or more long title, and one or more abbreviated title. Because the same work goes by two or more titles, usually starting with a different word, to list works by title in alphabetical order does not provide the same degree of usefulness that it does for titles in other languages. In order to provide a level of consistency in the forms of the Tibetan titles and their English translations, I have given them from Thupten Jinpa’s 2002 book, Self, Reality and Reason in Tibetan Philosophy: Tsongkhapa’s Quest for the Middle Way, whenever available there. The dates these works were written or completed are givenwhen these can be determined with some degree of reliability. Under each Tibetan title are listed the English translations by date of publication, if more than one is available.
