"The Scripture on the Supremacy of Meditation was first brought to scholarly attention by Sekiguchi Shindai in 1950 (reprinted in Sekiguchi 1969, 379–395), who prepared an edition based on a single Dunhuang manuscript that was subsequently lost. More recently other copies have been found among the Dunhuang manuscripts in the Beijing library, and on their basis a new edition was prepared by Fang Guangchang 方廣錩 (1995). However the most complete edition is now that of Inosaki Jikidō 猪崎直道 (1998), who has used both the Beijing manuscripts consulted by Fang and Sekiguchi’s edition, and further suggested emendations. The Scripture on the Supremacy of Meditation has also recently been studied by Paul Magnin, who has translated Sekiguchi’s edition into French (2002)." "For introductions to the text and the question of its probable composition in China, see Sekiguchi 1969, 379–395; Inosaki 1998, 312–319; Magnin 2002, 229–271." "There is also a Tibetan translation, made from the Chinese (Tanaka and Shinohara 1980, 355)." Referring to Fang Guangchang 方廣錩, ed. 1995–2008 Zang wai fo jiao wen xian 藏外佛教文獻. 12 volumes.
