A comprehensive intact version of the Buddhist canon in Chinese script is the Tripiṭaka Koreana or Palman Daejanggyeong. It is based on older Chinese versions, and it was carved between 1236 and 1251, during Korea's Goryeo Dynasty, onto 81,340 wooden printing blocks with no known errors in the 52,382,960 characters. It is stored at the Haeinsa temple, South Korea. One of the most used version is Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō (Taishō Tripiṭaka, 大正新脩大藏經). Named after the Taisho era, a modern standardized edition published in Tokyo between 1924 and 1934.
