According to the research, publishing of Buddhist scriptures in the temple was carried from 16th century to 19th century. Meanwhile, there were 18 kinds of Buddhist scriptures which included existing books and remained in historical records as well. Among the number of 18 kinds, existing books in various institutions of the country were 17 kinds. The records in the Buddhist scriptures show that some of them were engraved from a motive of peace toward King and royal family.
