Summary
DescriptionLotus Sutra Or.8210 S.5458.pdf |
English: This incomplete booklet is made of 55 folios grouped in different quires that were then stitched together. Black margins and guidelines divide each folio is in 4 vertical lines designed to be written on. The last three folios were left blank, but the rest of the booklet includes several Buddhist texts:
- folios 1 to 14 contain Chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra. The text was possibly singled out as an individual sutra here, as indicated by the four characters 觀音一卷 (Guanyin yi juan), which could be a reference to the Guanyin Sutra or Avalokiteśvara sutra. - folios 14 to 44 contain an apocryphal sutra in one chapter, the Cause and Effect Sutra, as indicated by the beginning and end titles given on folio 14 and 44 (佛說善惡因果經一卷 Fo shuo shan e yin guo jing yi juan). - folios 44 to 46 contain the Heart Sutra or Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya sutra, called 般若波羅密多心經 Bo re po luo mi duo xin jing in Chinese as indicated by the title given on folio 44. - folios 46 to 48 contain another apocryphal sutra in one chapter, the Dizang Sutra, as indicated by the beginning and end titles given on folios 46 and 48 (佛說地藏菩薩經一卷 Fo shuo Dizang pu sa jing yi juan). - folios 48 to 52 contain the Devatāsūtra, as indicated by the beginning title given on folio 48 (天請問經 Tian qing wen jing) or the end title on folio 52 (佛說天請問經一卷 Fo shuo tian qing wen jing). Occasionally, the surface of the paper has been scratched to erase some characters that have then been corrected. The booklet was conserved as part of the Lotus Sutra Manuscripts Digitisation Project. The first folio, which was loose, has been reattached using Japanese paper hinges and wheat starch paste. The edges of the first pages have also been consolidated and repaired. The first two folios are fragmentary and have been infilled using toned Japanese paper. Finally, work was done to strenghten the thread binding: the existing binding was left in place and sewing was added, to provide better structural support. |
