Tengyur (Wyl. bstan 'gyur) – the commentaries on the teachings of the Buddha. The Tibetan Buddhist canon is divided into the actual words of the Buddha contained in the Kangyur, and the treatises composed by the learned and accomplished masters of India, which are contained in the Tengyur.
Ringu Tulku Rinpoche has said:
"All the teachings in Buddhism are divided into two types: the direct teaching of the Buddha and the commentaries. The teachings that come directly from the Buddha are called sutras in Sanskrit and Kangyur in Tibetan. You might call them the scriptural or canonical teachings. The commentaries are called shastras in Sanskrit and tenchö in Tibetan. In Tibetan, this Kangyur is 108 volumes, and the Tengyur, the translation of the commentaries that come from India, is 228 volumes. The commentaries written later on by Tibetans and others can also be called tenchö."

Grünwedel, Albert
German archaeologist of India, Tibet and Central Asia. Studied orientalism at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and in 1881 joined the Berlin Ethonlogical Museum, where he researched Buddhist paintings. From 1892, he became chief of the department of Indian Studies there. In 1904, he became director of the museum. Of the four Turfan expeditions dispatched from Germany, he led the first (1902-1903) and the third (1905- 1907). He published detailed reports after both. In particular, his drawings of wall paintings in the Kizil Caves are known for their great accuracy and detail. The sketches are very highly valued academically and are an extremely important resource in the study of iconography.
