The articles have been arranged to reflect common themes, exploring the fluidity of the frontier and its turbulent dislocations, the individual figures and their engagement with Chinese and Tibetan social politics, and Khams in relation to Central Tibet.

The Many Canons of Tibetan Buddhism is one of the first publications to include scholarship on both the mainstream Tibetan canons of translated Buddhist classics, and the alternative canons of literature of the Nyingma sectarian traditions.
