The history of Tibetan literature, spanning over 1300 years, places it among the most important traditions of Asia. Indian culture, Sanskrit, and the rich Buddhist heritage had a tremendous impact on its development. Over the centuries, written forms gained dominance over oral ones, Indian influences over native ones, and religious issues over secular ones. Nevertheless, native styles and themes always occupied an important place in the Tibetan literary tradition.
