(also known as the Vajracchedikā or Diamond Sutra) A highly readable translation of the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra as transmitted in the Chinese tradition, this brief text summarizes the teachings on emptiness of the Prajñāpāramitā, the perfection of wisdom. In this Sutra, the Buddha teaches his disciple Subhuti the subtle points of Buddhist philosophy on emptiness, the lack of true existence of anything—thoughts are illusions; life is a dream. Master Hua enriches the text by providing details and narratives, and he explains how to incorporate the concept of emptiness into our lives.

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 1 by Anonim Pdf

praj·na: transcendental wisdom pa·ra·mi·ta: ferrying over to the other shore; perfection The Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra are essential reading for those who practice Buddhism. Over the past thirteen centuries, however, the larger work to which they belong has been available only in Chinese. Now, for the first time, English speakers can access the first twenty fascicles of The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra demonstrates how one can become a bodhisattva -- and eventually a Buddha -- transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you’ll be nourished by the parables and dialogues within.

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 2 by Anonim Pdf

Buddha taught The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra in sixteen assemblies in four locations over twenty-two years. It was recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles of approximately five million words and is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. For the last decade, translator Naichen Chen has worked on this sutra, and it is the only complete English translation from the Chinese Da Bo Re Bo Luo Mi Duo Jing rendered from Sanskrit about 1,350 years ago by Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang). This is the second volume in a multivolume set. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching, but because it explains what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It depicts, manifests, and provides guidance on how one should learn to become a bodhisattva—and eventually a Buddha—transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you will be nourished by its parables and dialogues.

With the aim of facilitating the study, the author has set out a certain amount of information about it. Thus this handbook records for the use of scholars the very limited knowledge acquired during the last century.

The Outline of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra by Victor Chiang Pdf

The Outline of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra The Rev. Master Xuanzang translated Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra during 660-663 A.D.(commonly called Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra). According to the narration of American scholar Sally Honey Wriggins in his book Xuanzang: A Buddhist Pilgrim on the Silk Road, Westview Press, 1966, "Xuanzhang returned to China with three copies of the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. Xuanzang, with a team of disciple translators, commenced translating the voluminous work in 660 A.D., using all three versions to ensure the integrity of the source documentation " .( P.206 ) The Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra translated by Xuanzang, is composed of 600 volumes, 4 places and 16 assemblies, 200,000 verses all together. Assembly one consist of total 132,600 verses, 79 chapters, 400 volumes. The first book of 100,000-verses' Satasahasrika Prajnaparamita mentioned above by Dharma Master Dongchu is not completely the same as Assembly I of this 400 volumes newly translated by Xuanzang. After Xuanzang completed translation of Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra in 664 A.D., he said, "This sutra is the foundation for governing a country and a great treasure for the human and heaven beings." Afterwards, Master went on to translate and spread the basic thoughts, sutras and shastras of Dharma Nature School. Three Shastra, Tiantai and Chan Sect in China, which belong to the School of Non being (Emptiness), are all derived from Prajna thoughts; Consciousness Only, Huayan and Tantra sects, which belong to the School of Being, are derived partly from Prajna thoughts and partly from Yogachara ideas. The compiler of this "Digest of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra " is Victor Chiang who is the founder of Buddhist Tripitaka Foundation, a researcher at Dept. of Religious Studies of Peking University(2008) and visiting professor at China Min Zhu University(2008) .

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 3 by Naichen Chen Pdf

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, taught by the Buddha in sixteen assemblies in four places during twenty-two years and recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles with approximately five million words, is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. The translator has worked on this sutra since 2008 and has completed the whole text. The present version is, so far, the only complete presentation of this great sutra in English translated from the Chinese Da Bo Re Bo Luo Mi Duo Jing (600 Juan, or 600 fascicles), rendered from Sanskrit about 1,350 years ago (from 660 to 663) by Xuanzang (Hsüantsang, c. 602–664). This English translation appears as a set of thirty hardbound volumes, with twenty fascicles in each volume. A translator's introduction and an extensive glossary of terms are included in volume 1. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching but also because it demonstrates what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It also indicates how one should cultivate and learn to become a bodhisattvam -- and eventually a Buddha – transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. This sutra depicts, manifests, and elaborates an entire learning process leading to Buddhahood. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you will be nourished by the parables and dialogues within.

Prajna Paramita Sutra in 32 Chapters by Sylvain Chamberlain-Nyudo Pdf

This is a reprint of a full compilation of Chinese translated Sanskrit and Buddhist hybrid texts written on the Perfection of Wisdom teachings known as the Prajna-Paramita Sutra and published in many versions from 300 lines to 100,000 lines and many versions in between. I believe this to be the most complete version, although the reader is to be aware that the central teaching in all versions is the same. I find it is more clearly understood with the typical excess of information in the format of the ancient teachings from India, which in this case, provide that the central message is not in fact, on emptiness, but on the perception of "bodies". This follows the Buddhas meditation instruction in the Satipatthana Sutta to calm or quell the "formations" of the body. It is in the deep understanding of the void of quiescent energy and the Amala consciousness that we can grasp the formations that lead to the false duality presented in samsara.
