Description

As the principal text of the Yogacara school of Buddhism, the Yogacarabhumi Sastra (Discourse on the Stages of Yogic Practice) was authored by Maitreya-nātha of India and translated into Chinese by Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. The original book was published in 1246 (33rd year of the reign of King Gojong of the Goryeo Dynasty) as part of the Second Tripitaka Koreana. It was printed on mulberry paper, with 26 pages (49 cm wide and 36.8 cm long) pieced together to form a scroll. This book is estimated to have been printed between the 13th and 14th centuries because it was clearly printed with an elaborate technique. It is a rare example of books whose covers and types remain intact.
