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.
