Ratnakuta
Ratnakuta (Skt. Ratnakūṭa; Tib. དཀོན་མཆོག་བརྩེགས་པ་, könchok tsekpa, Wyl. dkon mchog brtsegs pa), or 'Heap of Jewels', is a collection of 49 sutras comprising one of the major sections (Toh 45-93) into which the Tibetan Canon (Kangyur) is divided. The majority of the texts are Mahayana sutras dealing with classic themes such as emptiness, compassion, wisdom, the bodhisattva's vows and path.
