Kanjur (Kangyur) བཀའ་འགྱུར།
In setting up a shrine in the Tibetan tradition, it is often said that we should have representations of the awakened body, speech and mind of the buddhas. Statues and paintings are representations of awakened body, stupas are awakened mind and sutras (words of the Buddha) are awakened speech. Sutra texts are often wrapped in cloth or brocade and placed on the shrine as an object of reverence - it’s the awakened speech of the Buddhas, it’s the Dharma that frees us from suffering and confusion when we apply them.
