The Kangyur Collection

		The Kangyur Collection The Kangyur Collection is a group of Sanskrit classics that trace their origin primarily to Gautama Buddha around 2,500 years ago. It contains over a thousand different books in some 100 volumes of carved woodblock prints. These books reached Tibet more than a thousand years ago; they were translated into the Tibetan language, and protected over the centuries by the natural barrier of the Himalayan mountains. The Kangyur Collection covers a wide variety of subjects such as learning how to lead an ethical life; exploring great ideas such as compassion for others and social responsibility; studying spiritual arts such as contemplation, prayer, and meditation; and in general mastering the difficult task of finding lasting happiness. ACIP has completed input of 8,000 pages of text from the Kangyur Collection. (We still have about 50,000 pages to go, though.)
