A one-fascicle Mahāyāna sūtra on the right-respect etiquette of Buddhist practice, translated by Buddhaśānta 佛陀扇多 (佛陀扇多) at Yè 鄴 of the Northern Wèi 元魏 in 525–539 CE. An alternate translation to KR6k0117 of essentially the same Sanskrit sūtra.

Abstract
The text presents the same content as Jñānagupta’s KR6k0117 in an earlier Northern-Wèi recension. The double translation in two distinct Chinese renderings of the same Indian source-text indicates the importance of the Three-Jewels-etiquette tradition in early-medieval Chinese Buddhism.
