The Tripitaka is a comprehensive collection of Buddhist classics and serves as daily reading materials for Buddhists, functioning as a "treasure that safeguards the temple." It is a cherished heirloom sought after by temples and believers. Legends say it possesses the power to avert disasters, ward off evil, bless homes, and bring blessings. Emperors throughout history have commissioned the compilation of Buddhist canons to pray for prosperity, such as the Song Tripitaka, Yuan Tripitaka, Ming Tripitaka, and Long Tripitaka. Only benevolent and wise rulers could undertake such endeavors, making these sacred texts inaccessible yet desirable for the general faithful.
