Tanjur

The Tanjur, also known as the "Tibetan Buddhist Canon," is a collection of texts primarily focused on the teachings of the Buddha. It complements the Kangyur, which contains the Buddha's word. The Tanjur includes commentaries, rituals, and philosophical works by various Tibetan and Indian scholars. Together, these texts preserve Buddhist knowledge, philosophy, and practice, forming the foundation of Tibetan Buddhism. They are essential for understanding Buddhist teachings and are highly regarded in Tibetan culture, often studied by monks and scholars to deepen their understanding of the faith.
