- Summary:
- The Diamond Sutra may be the Buddha's single most important teaching on wisdom. In this commentary on the sutra, Master Hsing Yun carefully shows how the Buddha's brilliant use of language reveals the equal importance of insight and emotion to the spiritual path. In lively and readable language, he reveals the deep core of the Buddha's wisdom teachings, covering such topics as emptiness, impermanence, the three truths, generosity, patience, and the nature of language. Also included is a new English translation of the Diamond Sutra by Tom Graham.
