Beginning today, the 16th day of the second month in the Bhutanese calendar, Khenpo, Lopens, and all monks have initiated the annual recitation of the Kanjur and Tengyur at Busa Wangdue Goenpa Dorling Dhensa 多傑林巴 , for a duration of five days.
Importance of Kanjur and Tengyur Recitation.
The Kanjur is a vital compilation of scriptures that embodies the teachings of Buddhism, traditionally ascribed to Shakyamuni Buddha. The term “Ka” refers to the pure words or teachings imparted by Buddha Shakyamuni, while “Gyur” signifies translation. Therefore, Kanjur literally translates to the teachings or words of the Buddha that have been rendered into Tibetan.
“Tengyur” translates to “the translated treatises.” This collection consists of Tibetan translations of texts authored by Indian Buddhist masters, which explain and expand upon the Buddha's teachings.
The merits obtained from reciting the Kanjur and Tengyur are immeasurable. This practice can avert misfortunes, including violence, outbreaks of various diseases, harm from negative forces, wars and internal conflicts, as well as from various natural calamities.
May the blessings accumulated from this noble action help in refreshing people's faith and confidence in the practice of Buddha Dharma.
