Domang / Zungdü
Domang is a collection of many important short sutras. It literally means ‘many sutras’. It is also known as Zungdü or a compendium of zung or dhāraṇī texts. Dhāraṇīs are mantra spells and very cryptic and formulaic texts which are believed to have special powers for different purposes.

Domang is basically a collection of core Buddhist scriptures, mantras and prayers which form part of the Kanjur canon and are commonly used in people’s religious rituals. Because the Kanjur is an enormous corpus of books, these essential texts were conveniently put together in a separate volume so that people can have easy access to them and read them for different purposes.
