Xiànzài xiánjié qiān fómíng jīng 現在賢劫千佛名經
Sūtra of the Names of the Thousand Buddhas of the Present Fortunate Aeon (recension b) Translator unknown (失譯)
About the work
This is the second recension (T447b) of the present-aeon thousand-Buddha-names text, preserved only in the CBETA edition without additional canon witnesses. It carries the same alternative title as T446b: 現在賢劫千佛名經(一名「集諸佛大功德山」). The minimal canon attestation (CBETA only, no 【大→宋/元/明】 variants) suggests this recension represents a less widely circulated textual tradition than T447a (KR6i0024).

Abstract
T447b is the less-attested recension of the present-aeon thousand-Buddhas list. Its parallel structure with T446b (KR6i0023) — same alternative title 集諸佛大功德山, same “orig/CBETA only” attestation — suggests that the “b” recensions of all three aeons (T446b, T447b, T448b) represent a coherent secondary transmission stream, possibly manuscript-based and distinct from the major printed-canon tradition represented by the “a” recensions. See KR6i0022–KR6i0027 for the complete group.
