About this item

The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra, or The Diamond Sutra, is a teaching given by the Buddha about the nature of reality and the path to Enlightenment. In this Sutra, the Buddha reveals to one of his Elder disciples Subhuti, along with an assembly of Arhats and Bodhisattvas, that all phenomena are dreamlike and illusory. The Buddha expounds the destiny of all living beings, providing a description of Nirvana as the final liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Completely perfect unexcelled awakening is a state of being that is the basis for practitioners who wish to enter into Nirvana. This condensed version of the Perfection of Wisdom contains profound verses that illuminate the true mind of cultivation, awakening and the final Nirvana. The book also includes Venerable Master Hsuan Hua’s commentaries and explanations on this Sutra
