The Karchag Lhankarma (Dkar chag lhan dkar ma) is a catalog of the Buddhist texts held at the Lhankar palace of the Tibetan Empire. It was probably compiled in 824 CE.[1] It is the only one of the three catalogues of Buddhist texts from the imperial period that is preserved in the Kanjur.[2] It is also the oldest known catalogue of these texts.[3]
