Description
Ksitigarbha pranidhana Sutra tells of how Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made great vows to rescue sentient beings. Originally translated by Fadeng of the Tang Dynasty, this sutra was inscribed on woodblocks and printed on mulberry paper. The publication was ordered by the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty to pray for the deceased souls of Queen Wongyeong (wife of King Taejong) and Queen Soheon (wife of King Sejong). This book consists of three volumes and measures 18 cm wide and 28.2 cm long when folded. According to the record at the end of this book, it was published between 1447 (29th year of King Sejong’s reign) when the last son of King Sejong was conferred the title of Prince Yeongeung and 1450 when King Sejong died.
