Post-canonical Buddhist texts
In Buddhist studies, particularly East Asian Buddhist studies, post-canonical Buddhist texts, Buddhist apocrypha or Spurious Sutras and Sastras designate texts that are not accepted as canonical by some historical Buddhist schools or communities who referred to a canon. The term is principally applied to texts that purport to represent Buddhist teaching translated from Indian texts, but were written in East Asia. Examples 
 Innumerable Meanings Sutra
 Sutra of the Original Acts which Adorn the Bodhisattvas (菩薩本業瓔珞經, P'u-sa ying-lo pen-yeh ching)
 Sutra of Adamantine Absorption (金剛三昧經, Kŭmgang sammaegyŏng)
 Sutra on the Conversion of the Barbarians (老子化胡經,  Lao-tzu Hua-hu ching)
