Diamond Sutra (Translated)
The Diamond Sutra is a Mahāyāna (Buddhist) sutra from the genre of Prajñāpāramitā (‘perfection of wisdom’). Together with the Heart Sutra, it is one of the most influential sutras in East Asia, with a major impact on Chan and Zen traditions. A copy of the Tang dynasty version was found in 1900, and is dated to 11 May 868 CE. It is the earliest dated printed book, and is the first known creative work with an explicit public domain dedication as its colophon states that it was created “for universal free distribution”.
