Recently, carving of the woodblocks for 205 sections of the TAR's Snar thang Edition of the Bstan 'gyur were completed. According to estimates, carving of the remaining 20 sections will be completed in 2015.
Due to local turmoil, natural decay, and so on, many of Snar thang Monastery's woodblocks were lost. Afterwards, through the diligent research of the monastery's monks, nearly 9,000 woodblocks have been made or found up till now.
According to the information we have, the TAR began the new carving of the Snar thang Monastery edition of the Bstan 'gyur at the start of this century. In recent years, not only has the TAR's work of carving the Snar thang edition of the Bstan 'gyur been strengthened, but also the print quality of the Bka' 'gyur has also been improved. The desire of the faithful masses to preserve the great scriptures as well as possible has been fulfilled.
