The Myobeop Yeonhwagyeong (Lotus Sutra) held at Yeondeon Temple comprises seven volumes in two volumes, printed in March 1405 (fifth year of King Taejong) from Buddhist woodblock plates created by monk Sinmun at Ansinsa Temple on Dosolsan Mountain in Unjecheon, Jeolla Province. Aside from one page of illustrated frontispiece, the work maintains complete-volume format. Compared to previously-designated treasures printed from the identical plate, this edition preserves all sponsor and publication information, with Volumes 1-3 being particularly rare. The Yeondeon Temple Myobeop Yeonhwagyeong serves as primary source material for tracing Joseon early-period Buddhist scripture publication practices, the carving level of illustrated frontispieces, and Buddhist ideological trends during late Goryeo and Joseon's King Taejong period, possessing significant historical and cultural value. Overall preservation condition remains largely intact, constituting a complete-volume work of considerable merit.
