| Description | The Sutra of Eight Luminous of Heaven and Earth is a widespread canonical text in the Mongolian Buddhism. Previously, two different versions of the sutra, both originating in Chinese originals, have been described. Textologically unified version A was attested in the 14th century findings and later incorporated into the Beijing xylographic Kanjur. The less common version B is attested for the first time in Olon süm-e and later included into the Beijing Sundui. This paper described two manuscripts of version B found in the collection of Charles University, Prague, which show substantial differences in their translation from the blockprinted versions. |
