Thanks to the support of Dallan and Karen Leong Clancy Fellowship, I was able to focus on conducting extensive research on ancient Tibetan manuscripts. My research findings have been presented at conferences, workshops, and forums, and have received enthusiastic responses from many experts in the field. Additionally, the time and resources provided by the fellowship allowed significant breakthroughs to happen in my dissertation, which centers on the Dunhuang manuscripts—an essential corpus for understanding Tibetan literary and religious traditions. As a whole, my project contributes to major ongoing discourses by uncovering the historical transmission of knowledge across regions.
