English version The Diamond Sutra is the orthodox scripture of Mahayana Buddhism. The Tathagata (Buddha) said, 'All Buddhas, and the Dharma (teachings) of Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (unsurpassed, complete, perfect enlightenment) attained by all Buddhas, come from this sutra.' Thus, this sutra is the marrow of the sacred teachings, and its merits are inconceivable. Those who recite this sutra can illuminate and break through all illusory appearances, see the source of their own nature, and directly reach the other shore of Nirvana (liberation). It is not merely that various blessings and responses are unfailingly effective. However, understanding the principle without calculating its merits may be possible for those with sharp faculties and superior wisdom. But for those of middle or lower capacity, if they do not see blessings, their faith will not be firm. How can they be made to enjoy reciting without being weary? Therefore, I have not only made sentence explanations but also compiled a collection of categorized responsive stories. The events recorded in ancient and modern biographies, which are reliably documented, number no less than several thousand. To include them all would be too cumbersome, and people might find it difficult to remember. Now, I have selected the fifty most essential ones, divided into eighteen categories, all of which respond immediately to sincere intentions, as quickly as an echo. They are indeed sufficient to transform the unbelieving and inspire people to enjoy reciting. However, the responses also vary in depth and magnitude. For example, prolonging life, healing illnesses, having children, passing the imperial examinations, escaping disasters, and returning to life after death are mostly enjoying worldly blessings, which are causes with outflows and not valued by those who practice transcendence. Only the section on 'Returning to the West' (rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss) can end birth and death, escape reincarnation, and directly ascend to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, where one can gather with all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. This is the true destination for those who truly study the Way. All recitation, explanation, writing, printing, and donation of this sutra are originally for seeking this. Other kinds of miraculous responses are merely incidental. Merits have depths, and effects have magnitudes. I hope that those who read this book will look at it from a high perspective. Respectfully inscribed by Recluse Guiyi, Wang Zesheng, on the eighth day of the second month of the twenty-sixth year of the Qianlong reign (1761).

During the Tianjian era. Dharma Master Yan resided at Zhaoti Monastery in Chang'an. He became a monk at the age of eleven. One day, he encountered a fortune teller who said, 'It's a pity you are intelligent but your lifespan is short, calculated to be only eighteen years.' Dharma Master Yan returned home, burned incense, paid homage to the Three Jewels, and made a vow, praying to be granted a scripture to diligently and wholeheartedly uphold. After praying, he randomly drew a scroll, which was the Diamond Sutra. He then wholeheartedly upheld it, day and night without ceasing. Suddenly, late one night, he saw five-colored light appearing in his room. Shortly after, he saw a Brahman monk (Indian monk), fifteen feet tall, who told Dharma Master Yan, 'You were supposed to die at eighteen, but due to the merit of upholding the Mahayana scripture, your lifespan has been extended.' After saying this, he disappeared. Therefore, he became even more diligent and assiduous. Later, he lived to be ninety-two years old and passed away peacefully without illness. Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Wu Si-xuan. During the Tianhou (Empress Wu Zetian) era, he served as a Taixue (Imperial Academy) Doctor. He recited the Diamond Sutra twice daily and experienced many miraculous responses. Wu Si-xuan fell ill in the capital. There was a shaman named Chu Xi'er, whose words were divinely accurate and skilled in astrology and prayer. Wu Si-xuan went to visit him. Chu Xi'er exclaimed in surprise, 'What kind of magic do you possess? Ghosts run away at the sight of you.' Wu Si-xuan knew it was the power of the scripture, and he became even more faithful and diligently recited the sutra, reciting it five times daily. His elder brother fell ill, and medical treatment was ineffective. Wu Si-xuan sincerely recited the sutra, and he recovered in three days. Wu Si-xuan once saw an old man on the Wei Bridge, over eighty years old, wearing coarse hemp mourning clothes. When asked who he was mourning for, he replied that it was for his mother. Wu Si-xuan found it strange. The old man replied, 'My mother was forty-three years old when a strange monk taught her that if she wanted to live a long life, she only needed to recite the Diamond Sutra. My mother resolved to recite it twice daily and lived to be one hundred and seven years old. My aunt and the mother of my neighbor also recited this sutra and both lived past one hundred years old.' Jiangling. Li Xuan-zong. His daughter, at the age of thirteen, dreamed of a Brahman monk (Indian monk) who said, 'You have a kind heart, why don't you uphold and recite the Diamond Sutra? If any man or woman in the world can purify their mind and recite one chapter daily --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。阳间增延福寿。寿算百年而终。即生天界。若能究竟般若。直登涅槃彼岸。或有看经未圆满者。即死入阴府。不能拘录。判生福贵家。受诸福报。李女依僧嘱。日诵三卷。年二十四。不愿嫁。忽患伤寒。三日而卒。有二使引见阎君。照看其女无罪。见头上有佛光。王曰。此女既有般若功。宜判还魂。临行。王嘱曰。汝父有杀害之仇。先减寿二纪。不久追入阴司对证。汝父好将活鱼切脍。今有鱼七千余头。状诉索命。汝父每夜。梦落网中。日日头痛。此是鱼求报也。女还魂。以此白父。父惊惶。遂同女往天宁寺。斋僧百员。愿发断除荤酒。手写金刚经。四十九卷。写毕。玄宗夜梦。数千青衣童子来拜谢。口称我等被君杀戮。各诉宿冤。索君性命。今蒙写经功德。出离三途之苦。往生善道。君既释冤。复还原寿。又添遐算。玄宗闻之。不胜忻喜。自尔持经不辍。寿至百二十岁。无疾而终。 明。正德间。南岳有大德僧。曰楚石。博通三藏。而专持金刚经。人有礼之乞佛法者。无贤愚贵贱。辄大声曰。好持金刚经去。年一百七十一岁始化。同时有白藤和尚。无极和尚。亦专劝化持金刚经。白藤终一百三十岁。无极终一百二十四岁。 愈疾 王偁。家晋州。性顽鄙。唐元和四年。其家疾疫而亡。惟偁偶免 现代汉语译本：阳间增添福气延长寿命，如果寿命注定是百年而终，死后就能升到天界。如果能够彻底领悟《般若经》（Prajna Sutra，智慧经典），就能直接登上涅槃（Nirvana，解脱）的彼岸。或者有人读经还没有圆满就去世了，即使进入阴间地府，也不会被拘禁，会被判投生到有福气的富贵人家，享受各种福报。李女听从僧人的嘱咐，每天诵读三卷经书。二十四岁时，不愿出嫁。忽然得了伤寒，三天后去世。有两位阴差引她去见阎君。阎君查看她的记录，发现她没有罪过，而且看到她头上有佛光。阎君说：‘这个女子既然有诵读《般若经》的功德，应该判她还阳。’临走时，阎君嘱咐她说：‘你父亲有杀生的冤仇，先减去十二年寿命，不久就会被追到阴间来对质。你父亲喜欢将活鱼切成鱼脍，现在有七千多条鱼，状告你父亲索命。你父亲每夜都梦见自己落入渔网之中，每天都头痛，这就是鱼在寻求报应啊。’女子还魂后，将这些事告诉了父亲。父亲非常惊恐，于是和女儿一同前往天宁寺，斋僧一百位，发誓断除荤腥，亲手书写《金刚经》（Diamond Sutra）四十九卷。写完后，唐玄宗（公元712-756年在位）在夜里梦见数千名身穿青衣的童子前来拜谢，口中称说：‘我们被您杀戮，各自诉说宿世的冤仇，索取您的性命。现在蒙受您书写经书的功德，得以脱离三恶道（三途）的苦难，往生到善道。您既然已经化解了冤仇，就恢复您原有的寿命，还增加了您的寿命。’唐玄宗听了之后，非常高兴，从此以后坚持诵读经书不间断，活到一百二十岁，无疾而终。 明朝（公元1368-1644年）正德年间，南岳有位大德高僧，名叫楚石，精通三藏经典，专门持诵《金刚经》。有人向他请教佛法，无论是贤愚贵贱，他总是大声说：‘好好持诵《金刚经》去！’活到一百七十一岁才圆寂。同时代的还有白藤和尚、无极和尚，也专门劝人持诵《金刚经》。白藤和尚活到一百三十岁圆寂，无极和尚活到一百二十四岁圆寂。 愈疾 王偁，家住晋州，性格顽劣粗鄙。唐朝（公元618-907年）元和四年，他家发生瘟疫，家人都死了，只有王偁侥幸免于一死。
