Tsai and Wenzel study a version of the Chujia gongde jing 出家功德經 engraved on cave walls at Wofoyuan, Sichuan. Following research by Miyake, they state that with the addition of the Wofoyuan witness, seven exemplars are extant, though the text was never canonical. The text derives from a chapter of the 賢愚經 T202, but differs significantly from that source. Tsai and Wenzel summarise relations among the different recensions of the text, and give a full translation (63-67). They argue for a date in the late sixth century (60-61). They state that the relation to T707, which has the same title, has not yet been made clear by scholarship.
