An important part of Wisdom's mission is the promotion of academic discourse and advancement of the appreciation of Buddhism as a living philosophy. Wisdom's titles include original works by the world's leading Buddhist scholars, plus translations of the sutras and tantras, commentaries, and oral teachings of both past and contemporary Buddhist masters. Our titles are distributed worldwide and have been translated into more than thirty foreign languages.

Among our academic offerings is our series of scholarly works, Studies in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism. The series made its debut on Wisdom's Fall 1999 list, with Tom Tilleman's Scripture, Logic, Language. Through the series, we have made available to scholars and the intellectually curious some of the best of contemporary research in Buddhist Studies in the Indian and Tibetan traditions. Besides original studies written in English, the series also includes translations of seminal research done in other languages, Western and Eastern.
