The Chinese Buddhist Canon is called in Chinese 大藏經 or Dazangjing (literally "Scriptures of the Great Store"). The Chinese canon contains texts from Nikaya as well as Mahayana schools. Korea's Tripitaka Koreana (lit. '' Goryeo Tripitaka '') or ''Palman Daejanggyeong'' is a collection of the ''Tripitaka'', carved onto 81,340 wooden printing blocks between 1236 and 1251. It is the most comprehensive and oldest intact version of Buddhist canon in Chinese script, with no known errors in the 52,382,960 characters. It is stored in Haeinsa , a Buddhist temple in South Gyeongsang province, in South Korea . The name "Goryeo ''Tripitaka''" comes from " Goryeo ", the Name Of Korea from the 10th to the 14th centuries. It served as reference for the Japanese edition ''Taisho Shinshu Daizokyo''. The modern standardized Japanese edition of this work is known as the ''Taisho Shinshu Daizokyo'', published in Tokyo between 1924 and 1929. It contains 55 volumes containing 2184 texts, along with a supplement of 45 additional volumes. The Taisho Tripitaka is organised into 85 volumes of 5320 individual texts.
