General Sutra

The General Sutra section (Tib. མདོ་སྡེ་, Wyl. mdo sde) (Toh 94-359) of the Kangyur is a large section containing many sutras, varied in length, and arranged with Mahayana sutras (Toh 94-286) first, followed by Shravakayana works (Toh 287-359)—although not all Kangyurs and commentators agree on which texts should be assigned to these two broad groups. In the Dergé Kangyur it contains 266 works, while in other Kangyurs the contents and their order vary somewhat.
