The Diamond Sutra: The Perfection of Wisdom金刚经英文版本出版了
The Diamond Sutra: The Perfection of Wisdom Jingangjing 金刚经英文版本在竹和松出版社出版了。
The Buddhist scriptures are as vast as the great ocean and as brilliant as a sky full of stars. Yet for modern readers, it can feel difficult to know where to begin – and few have the time to study them all.
In truth, among the many Buddhist texts, there are two that stand above the rest, each word precious and profound. Reading these two is equivalent to absorbing the very essence of Buddhism. Moreover, both are concise and refined – perfectly suited for modern people to read, recite, and reflect upon in daily life to cultivate inner peace and virtue.
These two scriptures are The Diamond Sutra and The Heart Sutra. Of these, The Heart Sutra is particularly short – just two pages long – and thus cannot form a standalone book. Therefore, Bamboo & Pine Press has included it as an appendix, for readers’ convenience and easy reference.
The Diamond Sutra is also relatively short. Bamboo & Pine Press has previously published it as part of The Ten Great Buddhist Sutras, but it is somewhat inconvenient to flip through such a thick volume daily just to read The Diamond Sutra. Hence, this time, Bamboo & Pine Press is publishing it separately, making it easier for Buddhist practitioners and enthusiasts to carry, read, and recite at any time.
If this publication brings even a little convenience or benefit to students of Buddhism, then our purpose has been fulfilled.
May your reading bring you joy and fill you with the bliss of Dharma.
Supplementary Note on the English Edition:
After the Simplified Chinese edition of the Diamond Sutra was published in 2022, it was very well received by the public. Therefore, we have now made the heartfelt decision to publish an English edition, and we hope everyone will enjoy it.

佛教经典Jin Gang Jing Diamond Sutra 金剛經繁体版出版了
佛教的經典如浩瀚之大海，璀璨之群星，現代人想讀卻總覺得無從入門，而且找不到那麼多的時間研讀。但其實佛教的經典中有兩部經典是重中之重，字字珠璣。讀完那兩部，就等於吸取了佛教中最精華的部分。而且，那兩部經典簡短精煉，非常適合現代人平日受持讀誦，修心養性。那兩部經典就是《金剛經》和《心經》。其中，《心經》尤其短，只有短短兩頁，無法單獨成書，所以竹和松出版社就把它放在附錄，以方便讀者隨時翻閱。《金剛經》也不長，竹和松出版社曾把它放在《十大經典佛經》中出版過，但每天要翻閱這麼厚的《十大經典佛經》來讀誦《金剛經》就有點不那麼方便。所以這次竹和松出版社把它單獨拿出來出版，以方便佛教愛好者們每天翻閱，隨身攜帶，受執讀誦。如果我們的出版給佛學愛好者們帶來那麼一點點的方便，那我們的出版目的也就達到了。願大家閱讀愉快，法喜充滿。
繁體版出版補充說明：簡體版《金剛經》於2022年出版後，深受大眾喜歡，所以這次我們發心出版了繁體版，希望大家喜歡。
