This series features the opening pages of the Kanjur, one of the primary canonical scriptures in Tibetan Buddhism. The Kanjur, a revered compilation of the Buddha’s profound teachings, holds a distinguished place in the Buddhist canon. As noted earlier, Buli Gonpa preserves a set of xylographic print Kanjur, produced from the renowned Narthang woodblocks. The opening pages (tog) of each volume are uniquely adorned with gold ink on dark blue paper and include illustrations of the Buddha, further enhancing their sacred significance. Carefully preserved as sacred relics, the Buli Gonpa Kanjur is stored within the temple’s traditional almira cabinets. Each volume is wrapped in layers of cloth and protected between two wooden boards, securely fastened with string. These protective measures reflect the profound reverence and meticulous care dedicated to safeguarding this spiritual treasure.

Extent: Manuscripts containing 13 volumes.
