Diamond Sutra

The Diamond Sutra mainly talks about the emptiness and compassion spirit of Mahayana Buddhism. Since this sutra aims to discuss the state of enlightenment, that is, the supreme enlightenment, which is also the "indescribable state" in Buddhism, it advocates that all things in the world are illusory and unreal, and "the reality is non-appearance." It believes that one should "leave all appearances" and "dwell without", that is, one should not be attached to or nostalgic for the real world. The four-sentence stanza at the end of the volume reads: "All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such." It is called the essence of the First Sutra.
