The Tibetan Buddhism relics exhibition opened at the Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan on May 2, 2016, China News reported.

The exhibition features “Tibetan dragon sutras”, which are the earliest, largest and finest decorated canons of Tibetan Buddhism transcribed by the Central Government in September 1669.
The “Tibetan dragon sutras” are a collection of all the Buddhist canons, or Tripitaka engraved in Tibetan. As the pattern of dragon, exclusively used for emperors was printed on the first page of each volume during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign, hence the canons are dubbed the “Tibetan dragon sutras”.

In addition, 120 other relics including religious records, calligraphy and paintings, dharma-vessels, gold and bronze statues of Buddha were also shown on display. 

 Zheng Mingzhu, curator of the Taipei Palace Museum said, the archives housed in the museum rank the top in the world. The exhibited masterpieces aimed to show the variety of the Tibetan culture.
