Zorin A. On the Rare Mongolian Edition of the Tibetan Gzungs bsdus Collection // Международный форум «Буддизм в диалоге культур Востока и Запада: прошлое, настоящее и будущее», 20—23 сентября 2015 года / Редкол.: Б. К. Салаев [и др.]. Элиста: Изд-во Калм. ун-та, 2016. С. 49—54.
Gzungs bsdus, or Gzungs ’dus, is the famous collection of minor canonical, apocryphic and postcanonical Buddhist texts which isgenerally attributed to the Tibetan Buddhist teacher and thinker Tāranātha (1575-1634).

to Dge lugs pa by the Fifth Dalai Lama in 1650, which followed with the renaming of the monastery to Dga’ ldan phun tshogs gling, in 1658. The first block print edition of Gzungs bsdus must have been produced
