Wherever the Diamond Sutra is honored and revered there is a sacred site enshrining the presence of the Buddha.

All sentient beings will benefit from the recitation of sutras.

Should anyone, looking at a likeness of the Buddha, claim to know the Buddha, that person would not know the true Buddha.

One who tries to discern me in form, seek me in sound, Is practicing non-Buddhist methods and will not discern the Tathāgata.

When Buddha attained total Enlightenment, He did not feel, as the mind feels, any arbitrary conception of spiritual truth.

People are grasping after an arbitrary conception of matter, the concept has no basis. it is an illusion of the mortal mind.

A composite is something that is ineffable. Only immature beings attach to such phenomena.

It is impossible to retain a past thought, to seize a future thought, and even to hold onto a present thought.

When you see that all forms are illusive and unreal, Then you will begin to perceive your true Buddha nature.

All phenomena are like a dream, An illusion, A bubble, A shadow, Like dew and lightning. Thus should you meditate on them.

Attain the Highest Perfect Wisdom and quiet your drifting mind while subduing your craving thoughts.

If a bodhisattva abides in the signs of self, person, sentient being, or life-span, she or he is not a bodhisattva.

Compassion and charity needs to be spontaneous and selfless, done without regard for appearances.

When infinite number of living beings have all been liberated, in truth not even a single being has actually been liberated.
