ADARSHAH Reflecting Ancient Texts in New Ways —Brief Introduction— 1. ADARSHAH is an app that lets you read and conduct searches of ancient documents in a digital format. There are three main categories of texts: (a) Kangyur (the words of the Buddha translated into Tibetan); (b) Tengyur (commentaries by Indian scholars translated into Tibetan); and (c) Tibetan Buddhist texts. 2. The software features a fast search engine and simple user interface that meets the needs and habits of the common user in searching and reading material. And there are summaries of the texts for the convenience of the academic community. 3. ADARSHAH (Sanskrit), which means “clear mirror,” with the hope that users will be able to clearly see their own minds reflected in the texts as if they were looking at a clear reflection in a mirror. —Features— 1. Search: ADARSHAH allows fast searches of all texts as well as by title or other cataloging information, and allows filtering of results. Readers can also view texts according to the catalog, organized by pitaka and title of the text. 2.
