The Buddha said, \u201cDuring the time of degeneration, I will appear as the letters (texts).\u201d So all of these teachings are an emanation of the Buddha and we have to see them as objects of refuge. In essence, the Kangyur is the root of our dharma, the source of our teachings, and the true guide of what to do and what not to do.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the Tibetan masters wrote and taught <b>commentaries<\/b>, the treatises, the <b>Tengyur<\/b>. Their authority and sacredness derives partly from their provenance, but also to a large extent from their perceived transformative power.<\/p>\n<p><b>History <\/b><br \/>\nThe Kangyur was not published at first. The teacher of <b>Chim Jampel Yang<\/b> made the first collection of the Kangyur and it was handwritten. Known as the Jang Kangyur because it was kept in a shrine room called the Jam Lhakhang at Narthang Monastery, it was the first Tibetan Kangyur published in Tibet. This occurred during the time of Emperor Yung Lo of the Ming Dynasty. <b>But\u00f6n Rinchen Drub <\/b>(1290-1364) played an important role in the establishment of the Kangyur and Tengyur in its present form. He catalogised thousands of religious and philosophical texts and was involved in the compilation of the Kangyur and Tengyur. He is also the author of one of the most important works on the history of Buddhism in India and Tibet.<\/p>\n<p><b>Editions<\/b><br \/>\nThe most reliable version of both the <b>Kangyur <\/b>and the <b>Tengyur <\/b>is the <b>Dege collection<\/b>, printed in the 18th century at the Dege Printing House or Dege Parkhang, under the patronage of the Tenpa Tsering, (1687-1738), the 12th headman and 6th dharma-raja of Dege, ruler of the Dege Principality, and the editorship of <a class=\"internal-link\" title=\"\u00d6ffnet internen Link im aktuellen Fenster\" href=\"\/en\/about-us\/chamgon-kenting-tai-situ-rinpoche\/the-12-palpung-chamgon-kenting-tai-situpas\/\"><b>Tai Situ Rinpoche, the Great Panchen Ch\u00f6kyi Jungne<\/b><\/a>.
