This is a Buddhist encyclopedic dictionary compiled by monks Sengmin and Baochang (among others) of the Liang Dynasty of China. It was printed later with the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks made at the Namhae branch of the Daejangdogam, the government office temporarily established to publish the Tripitaka Koreana, in 1243 (the 30th year of the reign of King Gojong of the Goryeo Dynasty). This dictionary is composed of prints of individual pieces of the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks attached to each other.
