Empress Komyo's Prayer Sutra - Komyo Kogogankyo

Japanese: 光明皇后願経 - こうみょうこうごうがんきょう
Empress Komyo's Prayer Sutra - Komyo Kogogankyo
Three types of sutras (tripitaka) are known that Empress Komyo made a vow and had copied: the sutra dated May 1, 740, the sutra dated May 11, 743, and the Kunkyukan sutra dated January 11, 760. The sutra containing the Empress's vow dated May 1, 760 is often called the "Sutra of Empress Komyo's Vow," and is also sometimes called the "Twelve Years of Tenpyo Sutra" or "May 1st Sutra." The copying of this sutra began in 736, based on the sutra treatise brought from China by Genbo.
