English version: Weeping and lamenting, having never heard such profound Dharma. At that time, Subhuti (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, foremost in understanding emptiness), upon hearing this sutra and deeply comprehending its meaning and significance, wept with sorrow and said to the Buddha: 'Rare, indeed, O World Honored One (a respectful title for the Buddha)! Such a profound sutra as that spoken by the Buddha, I have never heard before, even with the eye of wisdom I have attained since long ago.' The suffering of abandoning the body has already moved people's hearts, how much more so the inability to uphold and proclaim it after hearing it? Therefore, I weep with sorrow. The commentary says: 'Because of remembering the suffering the Buddha endured in the past to seek the Dharma, and respecting the Dharma, one weeps with sorrow.' The eye of wisdom is the wisdom of realizing the emptiness of self; 'never heard' is the wisdom of realizing the emptiness of phenomena. Two pure minds are in accord with the true nature of reality, possessing supreme merit. The first is a direct clarification. 'World Honored One, if someone hears this sutra and their mind is purified by faith, then they will give rise to the true nature of reality (the actual appearance of things). It should be known that this person has accomplished the foremost rare merit.' The commentary says: 'Within this, there is true reality; the rest is not true reality.' This is the Buddha's footprint. 'World Honored One, this true reality is not an ordinary appearance. Therefore, the Tathagata calls it true reality.' Asanga Bodhisattva said: 'In order to be free from the discriminating thoughts about true reality.' This is to highlight the Buddha's supremacy through faith, understanding, and the three emptinesses. The first is a general indication of faith and understanding. 'World Honored One, it is not difficult for me to hear, believe, understand, and uphold such a sutra now. If in the future, in the last five hundred years (the Dharma-ending age), there are beings who hear this sutra, believe, understand, and uphold it, then that person is the foremost rare.' Asanga Bodhisattva said: 'Even when the future Dharma is about to perish, there will still be Bodhisattvas who can uphold it, so there will be no attachment to self, others, etc. How can you, in the age of the Proper Dharma, be far from cultivation and not feel ashamed?' This is a separate display of the three emptinesses. 'Why is this? Because this person has no concept of self, no concept of others, no concept of beings, and no concept of a life span. Why is this so? Because the concept of self is not a true concept, and the concepts of others, beings, and life span are not true concepts. Why is this? Because to be free from all concepts is called all Buddhas.' Asanga Bodhisattva said: 'Having no concept of self, etc., means that no one clings to the concept of self, etc.; 'not a true concept' means that there is no clinging to phenomena; 'being free from all concepts' shows that all Bodhisattvas follow and learn the (Buddha's) appearance. All Buddhas, World Honored Ones, are free from all appearances. Therefore, we should learn in this way.' This is the Tathagata's approval and affirmation. The Buddha told Subhuti: 'It is so, it is so.' This is the supreme merit of the unmoving mind when hearing the Dharma. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Furthermore, if someone hears this Sutra and is neither alarmed, nor afraid, nor fearful, you should know that this person is very rare. The commentary says: 'Alarmed' refers to generating fear in a situation where fear should not arise; 'afraid' refers to being unable to sever doubts; 'fearful' refers to being constantly afraid. Their minds ultimately fall into alarm and fear. The purity of the five great causes (five skandhas) is the most supreme. 'Why is that?' Subhuti (Subhuti, Buddha's disciple), the Tathagata (Tathagata, Thus Come One) says that the first Paramita (Paramita, perfection or crossing to the other shore) is not the first Paramita; it is only named the first Paramita. 'Why is that?' has two meanings: first, it follows up on the previous mention of not being alarmed, etc., to raise a question; second, it generally follows up on the previous statement of supremacy to raise a question. The commentary says: This Dharma (Dharma, teachings) gate is called a great cause, surpassing other Sutras, therefore it is called pure. Because countless Buddhas speak of it together, those precious jewels, giving, etc., do not have such merit. Therefore, among those merits, this merit is the most supreme. The Diamond Prajna Sutra Commentary and Notes - Volume 1 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 33, No. 1701, Diamond Prajna Sutra Commentary and Notes The Diamond Prajna Sutra Commentary and Notes - Volume 2 Composed by Shramana (Shramana, monk) Zongmi of Xingfu Temple in Kyoto Revised and finalized by Shramana Zixuan of Changshui The eight doubts of upholding and speaking [this Sutra] without escaping the suffering result. The commentary says: The previously mentioned giving up of the body is the result of suffering, therefore the merit is inferior. If that is the case, if one upholds and speaks of the practices of Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, enlightened being) according to this Dharma gate, it is also a suffering result. Why does this Dharma not become a suffering result? The text for severing [doubts] has two parts: first, clarifying surpassing forbearance to sever doubts; second, clarifying the essence of forbearance. Subhuti, the Ksanti Paramita (Ksanti Paramita, perfection of patience or forbearance), the Tathagata says is not the Ksanti Paramita. Having reached the other shore of forbearance, one has already departed from the appearance of suffering. Moreover, if the other shore is not a shore, who suffers and who forbears? Clarifying the appearance of forbearance has two parts: first, citing a past life to prove the extreme suffering of forbearance; second, formally clarifying. 'Why is that?' Subhuti, for example, in the past I was Kali King (Kali, extremely evil) who cut off my body. At that time, I had no concept of self, no concept of person, no concept of sentient being, and no concept of lifespan. Kali, which means extremely evil. In the past, the Buddha practiced the Way in the mountains. The king was tired from hunting and fell asleep, and his consorts together paid respects to the immortal. The king asked if they had attained the four fruits, and they all answered no. The king angrily cut off [the immortal's] body, and the gods were angered and rained down stones. The king was afraid and --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
