Huge Buddhist Collection Published
The imperial edition of a huge Buddhist collection has been published by a Beijing publishing house.
The Yongle North Collection, widely regarded as the most important sutra publication produced by the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), is now available to everyone, the " Wenhui Daily" reported.
The 200-volume collection has a nationwide circulation of 100 sets, the Shanghai-based newspaper said.
As an imperial treasure in the Ming court, the block-print North Collection was carefully preserved by court officials and rarely seen by the common people.
The Palace Museum has a copy of the precious collection.
