Kangyur Master Doxographical Categories

These are the descriptions of the different doxographical categories within the Kangyur used in the master catalog.

Note: The section titles used to create this outline were from an earlier version of the titles; they thus do not reflect how the titles actually appear in the XML catalog. Many of the section titles that appear at the top of each individual wiki page are also out of date. However, these section titles do not display online, so they have not been revised. (The section titles online are delivered from the kt-d-cat file, not from the wiki pages.)
