Josanggyeong of Naewonjeongsa Temple

This is a single woodblock-printed volume produced in 1720, the 46th year of King Sukjong, at Hwajangsa Temple in Pyeongan Province. The main text, the Josanggyeong, systematically compiles the rites and procedures involved in making Buddha and bodhisattva images, while its second volume, the Jebul bosal bokjang dan uisik (諸佛菩薩腹臟壇儀式), explains the orientation of the statues and the methods for enshrining them, bokjang being the sacred objects sealed inside a Buddhist image during its consecration. This is a previously unknown edition, relatively early among the known printings of the Josanggyeong, and provides valuable material for the study of Buddhist history, since it fixed into set rules the procedures for making and enshrining Buddha images that individual temples had until then carried out without any uniformity.
