Bulseol daebo bumo eunjunggyeong (Sakyamuni’s Teaching on Parental Love) (1992)

The Bulseol daebo bumo eunjunggyeong, also known in short form as the Bumo eunjunggyeong or Eunjunggyeong, is a sutra recounting the Buddha's teachings on the great and profound kindness of parents. The text was translated by Kumārajīva, and this particular edition was published in 1432, the fourteenth year of King Sejong, by Lady Myeongbin of the Kim clan, a consort of King Taejong. It is a woodblock print on mulberry paper in accordion-fold format, which opens out like a folding screen; when folded, it measures 33.5 cm in height and 11.3 cm in width. As is customary for this sutra, the ten great debts owed to parents are set out in both text and illustration, and it is followed by the Bulseol bumo eunjung taegolgyeong. As a work published by the royal court, the carving of the characters is finely executed, and the edition is considered identical to that found in the Textual Material from Inside the Vairocana Buddha Statue at Girimsa Temple (Treasure).
