Mahayana Sutra Studies – Diamond Sutra

Around one hundred Mahayana sutras survive in Sanskrit or Tibetan translations. Mahayana sutras are passed down as the legacy of Gautama Buddha: early versions were not written documents but orally preserved teachings said to be verses that were committed to memory and recited by his disciples, in particular Ananda, which were viewed as a substitute for the actual speech of the Buddha following his death. This course will focus primarily on the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra better known as the Diamond Sutra.
