Kalaviṇka Canon 頻伽大藏經

Short name for the Kalaviṇka Hermitage Canon 頻伽精舍校刊大藏經

This canon, in 8,416 volumes, was published in 1908. It was organized by Zōngyǎng 宗仰 with assistance from Zhāng Tàiyán 章太炎. The cost of publication was borne by Liza Roos (Mrs. Silas Hardoon 羅迦陵). It was the first Buddhist canon published in China using relief printing and was relatively inexpensive. It also included extensive punctuation, making it easier to read than most previous canons.[1]

A Kalaviṇka 迦陵頻伽, the name of a mythical Indian bird that lives in the Himālayas and has a beautiful voice.
