Synopsis
The Shakabpa Lectures were given by Tsepon W. D. Shakabpa in 1985 at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA) at Dharamsala. He read passages from his Advanced History (now available in English) and then analyzed and expounded on the events and personalities at length, and explained his source materials. He also went into lengthy discussions on controversies and even associated gossip and rumours, which he could not have included in his book. At one point Shakabpa even sings the old accountant’s song – for he had started his official career in the financial department.[1]
The lectures can be purchased from the Audio/Visual section of the LTWA at Dharamsala. For those who are not able to get it from there, we will be releasing them here in a series.

Thanks for sharing these lectures online. But, I think these are incomplete lectures, which does not deal with the Tibetan history chronologically.

Tashi Phuntsok la, we’re uploading the lectures as per the ‘file number’ on the LTWA discs. I cannot confirm at the moment whether the lectures are chronological (I hope they are). As indicated above, the lectures can be purchased on a disc from the LTWA, Dharamsala.
