The Dasung Gisin Ron So is a Buddhist sutra comprising commentary on the Mahayana Awakening of Faith by the Indian monk Ashvagosha, with annotations by the Tang-dynasty monk Fazang (643-712). In Korea, this text was traditionally studied as an essential component of comprehensive Buddhist temple education, alongside the Diamond Sutra, Perfect Enlightenment Sutra, and Surangama Sutra. The Deagu Yongmun Temple volume represents the third fascicle of the three-scroll compilation printed from woodblocks carved in 1461 at the Korea Heritage Service's printing office during King Sejo's reign. This constitutes the only known surviving example from the 1461 edition, as other Joseon-period printings date to 1457, 1528, and 1572. As a primary source document for examining Buddhist scriptural commentary content and printing practices during the Joseon dynasty, this unique surviving manuscript provides invaluable research material for understanding the transmission and interpretation of this foundational Mahayana Buddhist philosophy text in medieval Korea.
