The Book of Changes is the oldest and most profound classic in China. At present, there are different opinions about the age of the Book of Changes. According to scholars' research, it should be 5000-7000 years ago, and it was written in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. Traditionally, it is generally believed that the Book of Changes originated from the Book of Hutuluo.

Buddhist scriptures are the general name of Buddhist classics. Buddhist scriptures in a broad sense usually refer to the Tripitaka, which is believed by Central Plains Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, and contains the main Buddhist works of India and China. In a narrow sense, Buddhist scriptures refer to Buddhist scriptures and ancient books.

There are many Buddhist scriptures, including the Tripitaka? Pharmacologist's classic? Guanyin sutra? Six ancestors altar sutra? Guangjin Mingjing? Amitabha sutra? The Diamond Sutra? Lotus Sutra? Diamond sutra? Dragon Tree Heart Sutra? Su Dijing? "Buddha says Buddhist scriptures"? Generous and other great classics? "Benevolence King Jing"? The Guanyin Sutra of the High King? Bazanlong? Agama? Buddhist mother sutra? ……

When the Buddhist scriptures were first produced, there was no way to verify them. I only know that the earliest Buddhist scripture is the 42-chapter sutra translated in the first year of Yuan Shou, Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty (2 BC).

65438+February 2005, the world's earliest Chinese Buddhist scripture "Buddhist Scripture Collection" (incomplete volume) was discovered in 1709 (in the 6th year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty-296 AD-). This is the earliest Chinese Buddhist scripture with a definite date in the world.

In this way, we know that the emergence of Buddhist scriptures is later than the Book of Changes, more than two thousand years apart! Are you satisfied with my answer?
