The Diamond Sutra, composed in India in the fourth century CE, is
one of the most treasured works of Buddhist literature and is the
oldest existing printed book in the world. It is known as the
Diamond Sutra because its teachings are said to be like diamonds
that cut away all dualistic thought, releasing one from the
attachment to objects and bringing one to the further shore of
enlightenment. The format of this important sutra is presented as a
conversation between the Buddha and one of his disciples. The Sutra
of Hui-neng, also known as the Platform Sutra, contains the
autobiography of a pivotal figure in Zen history and some of the
most profound passages of Zen literature. Hui-neng (638-713) was
the sixth patriarch of Zen in China, but is often regarded as the
true father of the Zen tradition. He was a poor, illiterate
woodcutter who is said to have attained enlightenment upon hearing
a recitation of the Diamond Sutra. Together, these two scriptures
present the central teaching of the Zen Buddhist tradition and are
essential reading for all students of Buddhism.
