Description
The Sutra of the Supreme Sacrosanct Dharani (or Usnisa Vijaya Dharani Sutra) was translated into Chinese by the Tang Tripitaka master Divakara (613-687). According to the text, one needs to recite the sutra in order to be relieved of all difficulties in life, to achieve virtue, and to attain nirvana by being reborn in the pure land of Buddha. This edition of the dharani is conjectured to belong to the first edition of the Tripitaka Koreana published in the twelfth century on the basis of the Kaibao Tripitaka of the Song Dynasty. The dharani is known to be the only extant example printed from the first Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks, and contains various devices – including book and page numbers – for the systematic management of the printed Tripitaka materials.
