Featured Collections
Inspired by the classic, made for today.
Collection Background
Whether it is the compilation and digitization of classics or the construction of grottoes and retreat spaces, these tasks cannot be completed quickly with short-term investment, yet they will continue to have an effect over time.
If the classics lack a clear structure and catalog, even if they are preserved, they are difficult to truly understand and use; if spaces cannot be maintained long-term, tranquility, focus, and creativity can only be transient experiences.
Each work chosen is part of what allows this long-term practice to continue.

Thematic Collection, Connecting Long-Term Practice
Classic Preservation Project
Leave a path open for wisdom to enter
Each archived work is connected to Dunhuang’s long-standing westward pursuit of transmitting the classics. Around these important texts, we continuously advance manuscript collation, digital preservation, translation research, and knowledge construction, so that wisdom spanning millennia continues to be understood and carried into the future.
Cave Construction Project
Leave usable space for deep practice and long-term creation
This series of collections is connected to the exploration of the Dunhuang Westbound “Twin Desert” retreat spaces. In the future, these spaces will be used for long-term retreats, study, and innovative practice, providing practitioners of different generations with a quiet, focused, and sustainably usable environment.
