Nepal holds the largest collection of Buddhist Sanskrit literature, significantly contributing to the preservation of Mahayana texts. The discovery of these manuscripts by Sir Brian B. Hodgson in the early 19th century transformed the understanding of Buddhism in Europe. Key Mahayana sutras, such as the Lalitavistara and Saddharmapundarika, have been influential in shaping the religious practices and cultural identity of Nepalese Buddhists.
