Suneungeomgyeong Sutra is the essential sutra for learning about Buddhism. Its main idea is to have one’s own power through direct experience and training, not stopping at just understanding the words of the Buddha. This book has Volumes 6 to 10 of the originally translated Surangama Sutra, which was translated by the Tang Chinese Banjamilje, bound into a single volume measuring 26.1 cm x 16.6 cm, and printed from engraving on wood blocks. It is displayed in Leeum Samsung Museum of Art. The end of book has a note saying that it was published at Cheongnyongsa Temple in Anseong in 1372, the 21st year of the reign of King Gongmin of Goryeo, that Kim Ho and the Lady Choe of Yeongam-gun donated it, and that Princess Jeongsunongju prayed for its successful publication. Judging from its poor printing status, it is probably an initial print, and from the paper quality and the title page it appears that it was printed in Goryeo.
