The Diamond Cutter Sutra (or Vajra Cutter
Sutra) is one of the texts within the Prajnaparamita,
or Perfection of Wisdom sutras. The Prajnaparamita
is the body of sutras and commentaries representing
the essence of the Mahayana Buddhism, particuarly those
related to the realization of the illusory nature of
all phenomena. This wisdom which realizes the true nature
of all phenomena is like a diamond, which cuts through
our wrong conceptions and brings liberation.
The Diamond Cutter Sutra has been specifically
recommended by Rinpoche as one to study and recite,
and Rinpoche has translated and annotated a dedication
to be read at the end of a Diamond Cutter recitation.
FPMT Education Department has made this sutra and Rinpoche's
dedication available
in a variety of languages in pdf format. |
