This is the 32nd volume, out of 100 volumes of Yogacaryabhumi Sutra, translated by Xuan zang (a Chinese Buddhist monk: 602-664), of Tang Dynasty in China. It is a first edition printed in the era of King Hyeonjong, Goryeo Period. It has many differences from the revised edition of Tripitaka; housed in Haeinsa Temple, in the way each unit, chapter, volume and the number of edition were indicated. The first edition uses the letter '丈' for each chapter, which is changed to letter '張'; also the first edition does not have a printing record like in the revised edition; lastly, an omitted stroke of a letter in the first edition is all corrected in the revised edition. Judging from the quality of the paper and the condition of the print, it is assumed to have been printed in the 11th century, same as volume 12.
