Lotus Sutra vol. 1

The Admonitions for Beginning Students, the Lotus Sutra volume 1, and other texts, ten volumes in total, are all classical books more than 370 years old and constitute rare materials for the history of Buddhism. In 2004, when a Buddha image temporarily enshrined at Ansimnyo of Seongjusa Temple was relocated along with the construction of Jijangjeon Hall and given re-gilding and repainting, an examination of the votive objects placed inside the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva image revealed that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Ten Kings, and their entire retinue had been newly made in 1681, together with a list of the painter-monks who created them and the donors who sponsored the work; it also revealed that Seongjusa Temple was known at the time by the name Ungsinsa Temple, popularly called 'Bear Temple'.
