Text of the Perfection of Wisdom (Mahaprajnaparamita) Sutra, c. 700s-800s. Creator: Unknown
Text of the Perfection of Wisdom (Mahaprajnaparamita) Sutra, c. 700s-800s. This precious text fragment is one of the earliest calligraphies in the collection. The text is copied from the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra (also called the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra (Chinese: ?????????; Moha Bore Boluomiduo jing). The passage is part of a collection of sacred Buddhist texts written in India around 100 BC to AD 600 that were translated in the 700s by the Chinese monk Xuanzang. The paragraph is written in regular script style ( kaishu ) with deep black characters on brown aged paper that may have originally been dyed yellow. Mahayana Buddhism teaches that faithfully copying sutra texts is a good deed that helps one accumulate merit and the Buddhas blessings--a way to gain rebirth in the Western Paradise
