This page is a placeholder. It exists so that the structure does; the
text will follow, and will be checked by a teacher of the field before
it is called finished.
The Kangyur, the translated words of the Buddha, and the Tengyur, the translated treatises, together run to more than three hundred volumes. They were assembled in the fourteenth century, carved into woodblocks at Narthang, Derge, Lhasa and elsewhere, and are now digitised and freely readable. They are the largest body of Indian Buddhist literature surviving anywhere, much of it lost in the original Sanskrit.
The pages here will describe the collections, their history, and the editions.
