Compassionate Repentance Ritual (Revised Edition) vol. 7~10

The cover is missing, but the title can be identified from the colophon at the end, which reads 'Compassionate Repentance Ritual (Revised Edition), Volume 10'. Only a single volume survives, running from the tenth leaf of volume 7 through to the end of volume 10. The Compassionate Repentance Ritual is a Buddhist liturgical text used to guide the souls of the dead toward salvation. It is said to have been compiled by eminent monks under Emperor Wu of Liang, following a dream revelation from the Maitreya Buddha of a rite of compassion. This edition appears to have been carved and printed in 1370, based on a revised and corrected ten-volume authoritative text, and later reprinted during the Joseon dynasty.
