This article explores a small (14 cm×7 cm×1.5 cm) Mongolian manuscriptpackage. The package consists of several manuscripts as follows: 1. incenseoffering to the Five Personal Protectors (tib. 'go ba'i lha lnga); 2. Diamondsutra; 3. two printed amulets (with Tibetan scripts); 4. a drawing (with Tibetan text on the backside); 5. some pieces of paper with astrological content. We can divide these texts into three parts: protectors, blessers and astrological manuals. The protectors are the offering to the Five Personal Protectors and the amulets. The blesser is the Diamond sutra, which has beneficialeffect to the reader or the holder of the manuscript. This manuscript has acolophon that states it was written (or copied) in 1914.
