This article explores how block print editions of the Tibetan Canon, the Kangyur (bka' 'gyur) and Tengyur (bstan 'gyur), from the same source can undergo changes. Printing blocks are sometimes modified, replaced, added to, or rearranged, which leads to variant printings of the same edition. The author presents the case of two different printings of the Bhadrakalpikasūtra (bskal pa bzang po) from the Lhasa (lha sa) Kangyur.
