The American Institute of Buddhist Studies (AIBS), in affiliation with the
Columbia University Center for Buddhist Studies and Tibet House US, has
established the Treasury of the lndic Sciences series as a complement to its
Treasury of the Buddhist Sciences series. For over fifteen hundred years the
scholars representing various Buddhist traditions were actively engaged in
dialogue and debate with representatives of various Vedist, Hindu, Jainist,
and other religious and secular traditions. In this cosmopolitan milieu the
shared arts and sciences of all these lndic traditions were constantly refined
and developed. In full acknowledgement of this broader context, the AIDS
is widening its Buddhistic mandate with the Treasury of the Indic Sciences
series in which it is publishing translations of influential classics from the
diversity of lndic traditions. Publications from both Treasuries will bring
important Indic contributions into contemporary discourse, enriching and
contributing to our global cultural, philosophical, spiritual, and scientific
heritage.
