This article explores the history and relationship of various editions of the Kangyur (bka' 'gyur) of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon. The author bases his discussion on his experience constructing a critical edition of the Lokānuvartanāsūtra. He also draws heavily on previous studies done by Helmut Eimer, on whose work he also bases much of his methodology. He concludes by recommending approaches to future text critical studies of the Kangyur. (Ben Deitle 2006-02-23)
