Transcription of Mireuk sambugyeong (Three Principal

Mireuk sambugyeong refers to the three fundamental scriptures of Maitreya (Mireuk) worship: Mireuk bosal sangsaeng dosolcheongyeong, Mireuk hasaenggyeong, and Mireuk daeseongbulgyeong. The text was written in silver powder on dark indigo-blue paper, and measures 29.5 cm in height and 52.5 cm in width. The sheets are joined together so that the text can be unfolded and viewed like a folding screen. At the end of the text is a record stating that it was written in 1315, the second year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, by the monk Sinin, who prayed for peace and stability for the nation and its people and for the repose of his deceased parents. This work provides insight into the character of Maitreya worship in the Goryeo period, and, with its purpose of composition clearly stated and its text written with great care, it is an outstanding piece.
