Translations of Explanations, Tengyur (bstan 'gyur (sde dge))
The Tengyur (bstan 'Gyur) is one of the canonical collections of texts that include commentaries, hymns, and treatises composed by Indian teachers of the past. There are several different editions of the Tengyur. In this case the catalog is based on the Tengyur of the Dege edition. The catalog will be gradually enlarged and new sections will be opened. At present, there is still a so-called upper cut on the general content. The number of texts and volumes will also be indicated in the course of the work. It should be mentioned at once that the Kangyura catalog may not coincide with the one presented by Tohoku. This may be due to the fact that when compiling the catalog on the site - the entire collection of texts is proofread, rather than translating the overview catalog, which is one of the volumes of this collection.
