"Direct Explanation of the Diamond Sutra" is a commentary by the Qing Dynasty monk Jishan Jiu on Kumarajiva's translation of the Diamond Sutra. The author employs straightforward language to elucidate the concept of emptiness in Prajna wisdom, aiming to dismantle sentient beings' attachments to all phenomena. This work was completed during the revival of Buddhism in the early Qing Dynasty, reflecting the scholarly trend of integrating Chan and doctrinal teachings at the time. Its content closely aligns with core teachings such as "dwelling nowhere while giving rise to the mind" and "practicing goodness free from attachment to forms," providing clear practical guidance for practitioners. As one of the important commentaries on the Diamond Sutra, this book holds a pivotal role in Buddhist history, bridging past and future, and serves as a key text for studying Prajna thought and Qing Dynasty Buddhism.


凡例六則
  • 按:經名金剛,表佛性也。金剛乃眾寶之王,至堅至利。世界壞時,七寶俱壞,性金剛寶,伏藏秘密,不可破壞。此經乃法寶之王,佛性寓焉。器界壞時,經與佛性,常在法藏之中,亦堅固不可破壞也。註經者,無識佛性,許談佛法。閱經者,自性佛性,非一非二,不可徒作文字領會,始與金剛指趣,少分相應云爾。
  • 按此經古本分作三十二分,各標題目。最初作俑於梁昭明太子,現受苦報。後來註疏未及刪去,分數割裂,經旨斷續,文理互相乖違,血脉全無貫串,非佛意也。今註不敢效尤,刪改前謬,合一經為一章,務令問答照應,機解融通,間於承接闔闢處略為節段,庶令操觚者便於註脚,閱經者易於寓目耳。
  • 按此經舊本,分作上下二卷,照前分數割截,十四分以前為上卷,十五分後為下卷。藏本因之,襲於前文,便於編帙,習焉不察耳。愚意倘須分卷,當從經首起,至果報亦不可思議止,為一卷。自須菩提再請住心降心起,至末為二卷,於義甚當。蓋經中立教,前為未悟菩薩而說,後為已悟菩薩而說,前淺後深,無妨經脈也。闕文以待知者。
  • 按此經文,合作一卷,不分分數卷次者,止見近代憨祖決疑獨立一格。惟於經中承接段落,不無可議。今註多從憨祖定本,段落少別。
  • 按此經解註,諸家不一,細閱詮義,未免互相矛盾,少見貫通,往往問答重複,次第參錯,觀者易至望洋。近代憨祖決疑,拂去前文,別出一解,披卷燎然,一覽洞達。愚意解因疑起應,先疑後決,空生未問,預出疑情,似未甚妥。今註多從憨本拈出經文,前後承接,絡繹不斷,合一經為一章,似於佛心不大悖謬,識者教之。
  • 按此經不一家言,宗師提唱宗旨,教家牽引教相,各出所見,顯露家風,究於金剛真諦尚隔一層。今註不及宗語,不參教乘,務契佛心,直指見性而已。註中間或援引宗教,用資證據,亦造車合轍之解也。
