The ''Diamond Sūtra'' is a Mahāyāna (Buddhist) sūtra from the Prajñāpāramitā, or "Perfection of Wisdom" genre, and emphasizes the practice of non-abiding and non-attachment. The full Sanskrit title of this text is the ''Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra''. A copy of the Chinese version of ''Diamond Sūtra'', found among the Dunhuang manuscripts in the early 20th century by Aurel Stein, was dated back to May 11, 868. It is, in the words of the British Library, "the earliest complete survival of a dated printed book." ==Title== The earliest known Sanskrit title for the sūtra is the ''Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra'', which may be translated roughly as the "Vajra Cutter Perfection of Wisdom Sūtra." In English, shortened forms such as ''Diamond Sūtra'' and ''Vajra Sūtra'' are common. The ''Diamond Sūtra'' has also been highly regarded in a number of Asian countries where Mahāyāna Buddhism has been traditionally practiced. Translations of this title into the languages of some of these countries include: *Sanskrit: वज्रच्छेदिकाप्रज्ञापारमितासूत्र, ''Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra'' *Chinese: 《金剛般若波羅蜜多經》, ''Jingang Boreboluomiduo Jing'' (''Chin-kang Po-je-po-lo-mi-to Ching''); shortened to 《金剛經》, ''Jingang Jing'' (''Chin-kang Ching'') *(日本語:金剛般若波羅蜜多経), ''Kongō hannya haramita kyō'', shortened to 金剛経, ''Kongō-kyō'' *(朝鮮語:금강반야바라밀경), ''geumgang banyabaramil gyeong'', shortened to 금강경, ''geumgang gyeong'' *Mongolian: ''Yeke kölgen sudur'' *Vietnamese ''Kim cương bát-nhã-ba-la-mật-đa kinh'', shortened to ''Kim cương kinh'' *Tibetan འཕགས་པ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་རྡོ་རྗེ་གཅོད་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ།, Wylie: ''’phags pa shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa rdo rje gcod pa zhes bya ba theg pa chen po’i mdo'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diamond Sutra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
