Dear Prof. James Hartzell,
 
I recently stumbled upon this website
 
https://avagraha.wordpress.com/
 
with a tagline of
 
"Memorizing texts in a digitized world"
 
with pages such as
 
http://avagraha.wordpress.com/2013/02/16/memorizing-long-rules/
 
remembered your post.
 
Wanted to share.
 
Regards,

Dear colleagues

Might someone have handy some references on the practice of memorization in
the Sanskrit (and Tibetan) traditions?  I know memorizing texts is a basic
part of, for instance, traditional medical education, jyotishastra, etc.
What I am looking for are good published studies describing these practices
(pdf's would be a bonus).

Cheers,
