Diamonds are a Buddha’s Best Friend with Franz Manfredi

What is the “Diamond Sutra” and why is it so precious?
The “Diamond-Cutter Perfection of Wisdom Sutra” (Sanskrit: Vajracchedika-prajnaparamita Sutra), known in English as the “Diamond Sutra,” is one of the most revered Mahayana sutra teachings of all time. It invites us to cut through our limited and limiting ways of being and enter a world we have perhaps never seen before but has always our true home - the here and now.
