The story of the Kangyur and Tengyur – the translated words of the Buddha and subsequent commentaries – is a powerful illustration. These collections are not merely books; they are considered to be living embodiments of enlightened wisdom. Their preservation, replication, and respectful handling are viewed as fundamental to the continuation of Buddhist practice and the transmission of its teachings. This holder, in its own way, is a small contribution to that grand tradition of preservation.
