Assertion Argument Place in source Search

This text contains three elements: a long list of Buddha-names; a confession text; and fragments of a sutra called Baoda pusa wenda baoying shamen jing 寶達菩薩問答報應沙門經, which gives a detailed description of hell. Does this latter element indicate that it is composed in China? Kuo argues that the Foming jing was used in rites of confession called foming chan 佛名懺 ('confession by [recitation of] Buddha-names' ) from at least as early as the time of Huijiao 慧皎, who describes the practice in the Gao seng zhuan 高僧傳.
