English version: Not dwelling in the Unconditioned (Wuwei, non-action, non-striving). This is inconceivable. From beginning to end, the entire sutra is referred to as 'Thus.' It begins with 'Thus to dwell, thus to subdue the mind,' and in the middle sections, it repeatedly says 'Thus.' Here, it also says 'Thus to contemplate.' The commentary explains that this is wondrous wisdom and right contemplation. From this, it is known that wondrous wisdom is truly the essence of the entire sutra. The Proper Doctrine section ends. After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the Elder Subhuti (Subhuti), along with all the Bhiksus (Bhiksu, monks), Bhiksunis (Bhiksuni, nuns), Upasakas (Upasaka, male lay devotees), Upasikas (Upasika, female lay devotees), and all the Devas (Deva, gods) and Asuras (Asura, demigods) in the world, upon hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly pleased, and accepted it with faith and practiced it accordingly. Annotations to the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra Twenty-second day of the eleventh month of the tenth year of Hongwu The Emperor issued an edict, ordering all monks in the realm to study and understand the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Lankavatara Sutra. During the day, they were to lecture on them, and at night, they were to practice meditation. Furthermore, an edict was issued to select monks from the Chan and Teaching schools in various prefectures to gather at the Tianjie Shanshi Chan Monastery to collate and emend the ancient commentaries on these three sutras, establish a definitive interpretation, and promulgate it throughout the realm to widely propagate and uphold them. Respectfully thinking that the Emperor governs the realm as a Chakravartin (Chakravartin, Wheel-Turning King), relying on the power of past vows, personally receiving the entrustment from Vulture Peak (Griddhakuta), circulating the teachings to prolong the life of wisdom, it is truly extremely fortunate. Therefore, the monastic subject Zongle (Zongle) and others, although of dull intellect, dare to exhaust their loyalty, and present what they have heard in the past, presumptuously making annotations. The annotations were completed and presented to the Imperial Court on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the eleventh year of Hongwu. The Emperor, after reviewing them in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, approved of the interpretations. An imperial decree was issued to have them printed and circulated to the world. However, these three sutras are all essential for investigating the mind, and their function lies in breaking through emotional attachments and revealing the inherent nature. And the merit of circulating them is truly not small. Above, they can secretly assist the royal way, and below, they can benefit and aid sentient beings. It is not only the temporary fortune of us monks, but truly the supreme fortune of the world for all generations. The monastic subject Zongle respectfully records.
