Tengyur

Tengyur, collection of commentaries.

 The Tengyur or Tanjur is the Template:Wiki collection of commentaries to the Buddhist teachings, or "Translated Treatises". The Template:Wiki version covers 3,626 texts in 224 volumes, but numbers vary depending on the version.
The Buddhist Template:Wiki

To the Tengyur were assigned commentaries to both Sutras and Tantras, treatises and abhidharma works (both Mahayana and non-Mahayana).

Together with the 108-volume Kangyur (the Collection of the Words of the Buddha), these form the basis of the Template:Wiki Buddhist Template:Wiki. "The Kangyur usually takes up a hundred or a hundred and eight volumes, the Tengyur two hundred and twenty-five, and the two together contain 4,569 works."
As example, the content of the Template:Wiki Tengyur:

    Sutras ("Hymns of Praise"): 1 Volume; 64 texts.
    Commentaries on the Tantras: 86 Volumes; 3055 texts.
    Commentaries on Sutras; 137 Volumes; 567 texts.

    Prajnaparamita Commentaries, 16 Volumes.
    Madhyamika Treatises, 29 Volumes.
    Yogacara Treatises, 29 Volumes.
    Abhidharma, 8 Volumes.
    Miscellaneous Texts, 4 Volumes.
    Vinaya Commentaries, 16 Volumes.
    Tales and Dramas, 4 Volumes.
    Technical Treatises, 43 Volumes.

The Bon Tengyur

The Template:Wiki Bön religion, under the influence of Buddhism, also has its Template:Wiki Template:Wiki divided into two sections called the Kangyur and Tengyur but the number and contents of the collection are not yet fully known. Apparently, Bon began to take on a Template:Wiki form about the time Buddhism began to enter Template:Wiki.

Tengyur (Wyl. bstan 'gyur) – the commentaries on the teachings of the Buddha. The Template:Wiki Buddhist Template:Wiki is divided into the actual words of the Buddha contained in the Kangyur, and the treatises composed by the learned and accomplished masters of India, which are contained in the Tengyur.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche has said:

    "All the teachings in Buddhism are divided into two types: the direct teaching of the Buddha and the commentaries. The teachings that come directly from the Buddha are called sutras in Sanskrit and Kangyur in Template:Wiki. You might call them the scriptural or canonical teachings. The commentaries are called shastras in Sanskrit and tenchö in Tibetan. In Tibetan, this Kangyur is 108 volumes, and the Tengyur, the translation of the commentaries that come from India, is 228 volumes. The commentaries written later on by Template:Wiki and others can also be called tenchö."
