Kanjur Written in Nine Jewels

Kanjur (Kangyur), meaning ‘Translated words [of the Buddha],’ is the entire collection of texts regarded as ‘Buddha words,’ compiled and translated into Tibetan.
The complete collection of Kanjur in Nine Jewels was crafted by writing the treatise in ink made of pigments of nine jewels on composite varnished paper dyed in black. The Kanjur in Nine Jewels was worshipped at the Dashchoimpel Temple of Ikh Khiiree and handed over to the Mongolian Academy of Sciences library in 1937-1938. This work is the only exceptionally in¬valuable artwork illustrated with exquisite images of Buddhist deities, offerings, and elaborate symbolic patterns and motifs crafted by dozens of prominent masters, artisans, and scholars of that time. It was included in the list of the exceptionally invaluable historical and cultural monuments of Mongolia in 2002 by the Government of Mongolia under Resolution #118, and it was inscribed on the list of documentary heritage of the International Memory of the World Register in 2013.
