About this site

This site was set up in 1997 with the approval and blessing of His Holiness Sakya Trizin . Its author  Martyn Samuel, is a student of His Holiness  living in the United Kingdom. Its content is necessarily of a  nature, biographical and historical for example, which does not require regular updating - this for the reason that the author is not in day-to day contact with His Holiness or his staff. Hence it will not usually be possible to provide information on the current movements and activities of His Holiness and other important Sakyapa teachers, though when such information is available it will of course be given.

Nor does the author himself keep archives of Sakyapa texts. In the latter respect the Sakya Resource Guide (to which a link is provided on another page of this site) may be of use.
