Surangama Sutra (1981-1) vol. 6~10

The Surangama Sutra, also known in short as the Daebuljeong suneungeomgyeong or Neungeomgyeong, holds as its central idea that the Buddha's teachings should not merely be understood intellectually but must be directly experienced and personally attained. This item corresponds to volumes 6 to 10 of the ten-volume Surangama Sutra translated by Pramiti of the Tang dynasty, with the five volumes bound together as a single book. It is a woodblock print on mulberry paper (hanji) measuring 26.1 cm in height and 16.6 cm in width. A colophon at the end of the book records that it was published at Cheongnyongsa Temple in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, in 1372, the twenty-first year of King Gongmin of Goryeo, with Kim Ho and Lady Choe, wife of the lord of Yeongam, as patrons. The unclear print quality shows that it is not an early impression, and the quality of the paper and the title on the cover suggest that it was printed during the Goryeo period.
