Learning the Navagrantha

The Navagrantha are the nine most sacred texts of Mahāyāna Buddhism. As a whole, they form the Dharma Maṇḍala. This site connects to resources that can be used to learn and study the Navagrantha, and is based upon handouts designed for reading groups wherein the Navagrantha are studied. This project is a part of Shingan's Portal.
