Abstract: The twelve volumes of Greater Consecration Sutra were written by some Chinese monks in the Northern and Southern dynasties, and therefore the sutra was an apocrypha. There are different views about its formation. However, according to some evidence, it is convinced that the last three volumes formed before Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who destroyed Buddhism. And the first nine volumes formed after the emperor. In 457 AD all the scriptures were clustered together for edition and revision as twelve volumes. The author of this sutra should be Monk Hui Jian.

Key words: The Greater Consecration Sutra, Buddhist apocrypha, The Bhaisajyaguru Sutra, Monk Hui Jian
