Description

The Shurangama Sutra (Sutra of the Heroic One) is one of the texts that all Buddhist monks are required to study. The sutra emphasizes the importance of going beyond intellectually understanding Buddha’s teachings to assimilate them such that the seeker of enlightenment can draw strength from them. Printed on mulberry paper using woodblocks, these books measure 16.7 cm wide and 26 cm long. The woodblocks were engraved with the support of Kim Ho, Lady Choe, and Princess Jeongsun in 1372 (21st year of the reign of King Gongmin of the Goryeo Dynasty), and the books were published in the early Joseon Period. The title is written in gold on dark blue cover.
