<p>A study of the organization of early versions of the Tibetan canonical collection known as the Kangyur (bka' 'gyur; also Kanjur): texts identified as translations of Indian Buddha-voiced texts.</p>
This volume presents six papers on research into various aspects of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon (the <i>bka' 'gyur</i> and <i>bstan 'gyur</i>). The papers were originally presented at a panel of the seventh seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-30)
<p>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.
