<H3>The public Kanjur and Tanjur</H3>
<P class="line">

<LI>The works in the canon of the Tibetan Buddhists consist of the Kanjur and Tanjur.
They are publicly known, now as they were in the days of Blavatsky. These works are represented by the
yellow and orange areas in the diagram.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>The Kanjur works, according to tradition, are revelations of the
Buddha.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>The Tanjur works are commentaries on corresponding
Kanjur works.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<H3>The public books of Kiu Te</H3>
<P class="line">

<LI>The canon is divided in two main sections, a
sutra section and a tantra section. The tantras are called Kiu Te, by Blavatsky.
(purple areas in the diagram)
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>Within this section in the Kanjur we find the
Kalachakratantra. One of its commentaries in the Tanjur is the Vimalaprabha.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>In the preface to
the <EM>Voice of the Silence</EM>, H.P. Blavatsky mentions the Books of Golden Precepts as its
source. This book is said to be on all altars of the temples
associated with the "contemplative or mahayana (yogacharya) schools".
It must therefore be in the <I>public</I> books of Kiu Te. It was taken from the
same "series" as the book of Dzyan, so it must be a commentary and therefore we
can expect it to be part of the Tanjur. We can also see very easily that it
is not a Kanjur work by looking at the text of the Voice, which is clearly
not in any way a revelation of the buddha.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>The Five Books of Maitreya, stanza's of which were
planned to be in the Secret Doctrine, are also in the Tanjur.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<H3>The secret books of Kiu Te</H3>
<P class="line">

<LI>Blavatsky speaks of secret books of Kiu Te
(she mentions seven folios).
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>Further she speaks of a series of secret commentaries to these books,
of which the Book of Dzyan is the first volume. There should also be a commentary
on Dzyan.
</LI>
<P class="line">

<LI>There would also be a series of secret commentaries on the public
books of Kiu Te with a "glossary".
