Description
Mahavaipulya purnabudha Sutra (The Complete Enlightenment Sutra) has been chosen as one of the four books for basic reading in Buddhist seminaries in Korea. This is a rare edition carrying notes by Emperor Xiaozong (1127-1194) of the Song Dynasty. This Volume contains a preface by Yi Saek (1328-1396), a Neo-Confucian scholar-official toward the end of the Goryeo Dynasty, and a list of people who participated in the publication of the sutra. These records reveal that this woodblock edition was printed in 1380, the sixth year of King U of Goryeo, with blocks carved by Jido, Seonji, Jisang and Senghae, based on calligraphy by sutra-copying bhikkhus, including Jongbul and Unsu. The publication was funded with donations raised by Jibong and Gakhae. Donors included Jeong, Ham Seok-ju, O Ching-gil and Yi Won-gi, all high-ranking courtiers.
