The Correct Interpretation of the Diamond Sutra is an annotated work on the Buddhist scripture, the Diamond Sutra, by the Qing Dynasty scholar Gong Jicai. Living during the Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns of the Qing Dynasty, Gong was well-versed in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This book elucidates the essential meanings of the Diamond Sutra through Confucian thought, integrating the Neo-Confucian theory of mind and nature with Buddhist Prajñā wisdom, and systematically interprets core doctrines such as "abiding nowhere, give rise to the mind." As an important Buddhist commentary from the Qing Dynasty, it preserves the fundamental teaching of "dependent origination and emptiness of inherent nature" in the Diamond Sutra while offering a contemporary interpretation, holding unique value in the process of Buddhism's Sinicization. This annotated edition features refined language and profound doctrinal insight, remaining a significant reference text for the study of the Diamond Sutra to this day.

○法會因由分第一
(法者,即大乘法也。會者,佛與諸弟子共會於祇園也。因,始也。由,行也。行必有所始,此法會者,乃作經之因由也。)
如是我聞:一時,佛在(至)收衣鉢,洗足已,敷座而坐。
【註】如是者,指此經所言之法也。我集,經者自謂,即阿難也。言如是之法,我親從佛聞之。一時者,師弟會遇,說此般若之時。佛者,覺也。自覺覺他,覺行圓滿,故名曰佛。此指釋迦,為一曰教主也。舍衛國,梵語舍衛,此云聞物,即波斯匿王之國。祇樹,王之太子,名祇陀,此云戰勝。生時適值戰勝,因以為名。樹是祇陀所施。給孤獨園者,王之宰臣,名須達多(一作孥),常在此園,賑濟孤獨。達多原是外道,因在護彌長者家,聞佛說法,心生敬心,欲得勝地,請佛住思。太子有園,方廣八十頃,空曠清淨,堪為福地,往白太子。太子戲曰:若布金滿園,吾當與之。達多如其言。太子亦不愛金,將金共立精舍,請佛說法。比丘,梵語,華言乞士。謂上乞法於佛,以明己之真性。下乞食於人,以為世人種福,即今之僧也。大比丘,乃得道之深者,天人所共恭敬,非小德故。內外教典,無不博通,非寡解故。蓋佛將說真空無上妙理,必得道之深者,方能請問領悟也。千二百五十人,皆佛所化度弟子,常隨聽法者,俱皆在也。爾時,彼時也。世尊,舉世之人所尊敬也。食時,乞食時,非受食時。乞食當辰巳,受食當午時也。著衣,著僧伽黎,即二十五條之大衣,制像水田,見生福故。佛制入王城聚落,應著此衣,猶今之搭戒衣也。持鉢,持四天王所獻之鉢(過去維衛佛鉢,入涅槃後,供龍王宮中。釋迦成道,龍王送至海水上,四天王取以奉佛。此是紺琉璃鉢,乞食時持之)。次第乞,平等行乞,不分貧富貴賤也。本處,即祇園也。飯食訖,此飯字作餐字解,指受食時言。訖,畢也。洗足,西域行露足,故以水滌去塵垢已完也。敷,布也。布列高座而坐,即今之止靜打坐,將說法也。
【講】阿難記而言曰:如是經之所言,乃我親從佛聞之。佛說此經時,在舍衛國給孤獨園中,與得道之大比丘,及相隨聽法之眾,千二百五十人,俱同處焉。爾時世尊,於日當辰巳,可以乞食之時,著僧伽黎大衣,持紺琉璃鉢,園在城外。入舍衛城中,次第行乞,不越貧以從富,不捨賤以從貴,大慈平等,無有選擇。乞食既已,還歸園中,當午受食。飯食事畢,將入禪定,於是收入衣鉢,使心無係累,洗足以潔其身,乃布座而坐,說法之因由起矣。

善現起請分第二
