 g>Abstract</strong>: Almost all scholars of East Asian Buddhism refer to Bu
 ddhists’ books as either the “Three Baskets” (alt. three repositories\; <em
 >sanzang\, sanzō</em> 三藏\;<em> tripiṭaka</em>) or the “canon” (<em>da zangj
 ing\, daizōkyō</em> 大藏經\; meaning all the <em>jing</em> in the great librar
 y). But either term denotes a collection of thousands of individual books\,
  whether in manuscript or printed form. Many premodern Japanese Buddhist te
 mple librarians used another term\, <em>shōgyō</em> 聖教 (<em>shengjiao</em>)
 \, which probably means the noble teachings (<em>āryaśāsana</em>) as transl
 ated by Xuanzang 玄奘 (J. Genjō\, 602–664) and Kuiji 窺基 (J. Kiki\, 632–682)\,
  a key member of his translation team.</p><p>In this presentation I introdu
 ce the category of <em>shōgyō</em> and demonstrate how it was widely used b
 y nearly all sectarian denominations through the 19th century. Next\, I sho
 w how these sacred transmitted documents were kept apart from the “canon” o
 r “three baskets\,” precisely because these were the important books to be 
 read\, studied\, and used on a daily basis. Then\, I demonstrate where I th
 ink Japanese Buddhist librarians and scholars got the term shōgyō from and 
 why Xuanzang and Kuiji\, among others\, including Chengguan 澄觀 (Chōkan\, 73
 8–839)\, also called their important or venerable books <em>shengjiao (shōg
 yō)</em>.</p><hr /><h3><strong>Author and Speaker</strong></h3><p><img clas
