Kumārajīva’s Classic Chinese Buddhist Sutra · Simplified Chinese + Pinyin Annotations · Printable

THE DIAMOND SUTRA — THE WORLD’S MOST RECHNICAL Buddhist scripture, in one clear, complete digital edition.

The Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra) is the cornerstone text of Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism and the sutra most often recited for insight, mindfulness, and the release of clinging. This edition presents the full 32-section (三十二分) text in the celebrated translation by Kumārajīva, the 4th-century master who brought the Prajñāpāramitā teachings into Chinese — the version still chanted by millions of practitioners today.
