This book, Yogacarabhumi Sastra (Discourse on the Stages of Yogic Practice), is the twentieth of the one hundred fascicles constituting the sutra that was translated into Chinese by a Tang monk Xuanzang (c. 602–664). Although the first chapter has been lost and the second and third chapters are damaged, it is still generally regarded as an important part of the Korean cultural heritage as a copy of the Second Tripitaka Koreana Edition printed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book is also regarded as an important source of knowledge on the Korean language of the medieval period due to use of the seokdok gugyeol (""interpretive glossing"") technique throughout its text. As such, it merits designation as a national heritage and should be preserved and studied in a systematic manner.
