## About the Kangyur
The **Kangyur** (Tib. *bKa' 'gyur*, 甘珠尔, literally "Translated Words [of the Buddha]") is the canonical scripture collection of Tibetan Buddhism, comprising teachings attributed to the historical Buddha and his direct disciples. This monumental corpus represents:
- **Over 1,100 texts** spanning Vinaya (monastic discipline), Sūtra (discourses), and Tantra (esoteric teachings)
- **10+ centuries of compilation**: From 8th-century initial translations through 18th-century standardization
- **Multilingual transmission**: Originally Sanskrit/Pāli → Tibetan, with some texts from Chinese sources
- **108-volume Degé edition**: The authoritative version used as the base for this translation
**Historical Significance**:
- **First complete Chinese translation** of the entire Kangyur corpus
- **~70% overlap with Chinese Buddhist Canon**: Yet 30% of content (by volume) previously untranslated into Chinese
- **110+ Mahāyāna sūtras** never before available in Chinese
- **Critical textual variants**: Preserves readings lost in Chinese transmission
In the G2.0 translation edition (volumes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, etc.) produced between July and November 2025, approximately 1% (a very small proportion) of the text contains entire paragraphs that were accidentally omitted in translation.To address this issue, we have written a dedicated program to perform electronic collation and supplementary translation. As of November 26, 2025, this remedial work has not yet been fully completed.Under normal circumstances, the upgraded complete volumes will first be released at:
https://huggingface.co/datasets/ospx1u/buddhist-classics-vol1-12/tree/main and subsequently published on zenodo.org.
Other data repositories will be updated on a case-by-case basis or may not be updated at all.

## 中文说明
### 关于甘珠尔
**甘珠尔**(藏文:བཀའ་འགྱུར་,意为"佛语译传")是藏传佛教最重要的经典总集,包含佛陀及其弟子的教法。
### 本卷历史意义
**人类历史上第一个完整的汉语甘珠尔**
- **总计1,109部经典**
- **671部此前未译**(占总数60%,篇幅28%)
- **翻译时间跨度**:2017-2025年
### 为何重译已有汉译的经典?
1. **版本差异**:藏译本保留不同传承
2. **术语统一**:与藏传佛教著作体系一致
3. **阅读体验**:现代汉语更流畅易懂
4. **未来需要**:翻译丹珠尔(论藏)的基础
**编者体会**:
> "当第一次阅读AI翻译的《般若一万颂》(从未汉译过)时,流畅的阅读感受让我决定翻译整部甘珠尔,而不仅仅是未译部分。"
### 版本演进
- **1.0版**(2018):在线工具(已废弃)
- **2.0测试版**(2023):Calibre插件

**全覆盖(Gemini 2.0)**:

**使用建议**:

4. 视为"助读本",非定本
### 与汉文大藏经的关系
