The *Diamond Sutra Stone Commentary* compiled by Shi Chengjin of the Qing Dynasty is one of the significant Buddhist commentaries. The author, Shi Chengjin, annotates the *Diamond Sutra* from a perspective harmonizing Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, incorporating elements of folk belief, reflecting the cultural background of the syncretism of the three teachings during the Qing Dynasty. This work elucidates the sutra passage by passage, emphasizing the Prajñā thought of transcending appearances, abiding nowhere, and breaking through attachments to reveal true nature. Its language is accessible, with a focus on practical application. As a widely circulated commentary among the populace, it both deepens the principle of the wondrous existence within emptiness in the *Diamond Sutra* and promotes the dissemination of Prajñā wisdom within secular society, serving as an important document in the process of Buddhism's Sinicization.


No. 497-B金剛經石註自敘
西天經典甚多,惟金剛經是諸經之根。經中所說,悉成佛作祖之密旨。自唐宋元明以來,註此經者,何止數百餘家。各皆極意剖析,總為指引迷途,開悟後學,功甚大而慧甚普矣。諸家講註語義,各有是否。欲求其詳明折衷,竟亦寥寥。良由以語傳語,大都紙上鑽研,未從實地參悟而得,又何怪其然耶。殊不知此經,乃如來心法,眾生性源。佛本無經,經亦無說。因一切有情,淚於外誘,昧其本靈,顛倒昏迷,輪迴苦海,極可悲痛。是以如來作此真空無相之說,不過為眾生解粘釋縛,還其本來面目。何啻暗室明燈,冥空杲日。若能領悟,立證菩提,幸誠萬萬矣。今窮鄉委巷,但有善信之人,皆知讀誦金剛尊經。及叩其義理云何,則懵然不解。其謂雖有學者,曾聽各師所講之論,常覽諸家所著之書。或屬言繁,或成義雜。徒令聞者見者,是非可否,茫然不知適從。豈不以如來至妙之心法,緣此而未即明傳,深可浩歎哉。愧予一介書生,自知本靈,半為外誘所淚。然而身雖在家,頗有出家之行。每於儒書之暇,最喜誦讀此經。是以究心於此者,已二十餘年。凡講此經之堂,無論遠近,(予)必先到。註此經之書,不拘淺深,(予)必悉觀。雖聞見甚多,奈異同不一,自尚未的,又何以曉示將來。獨有儒士王化隆所註,盡發如來精微。又且脉絡貫通,簡明確當,不繁不雜,功亦大矣。惜註中間有與經文未透者,亦有與經文相左者,是猶玉中之瑕。(予)不揣愚昧,重加較正。刪其偏背,補其遺漏。另自直解,名之曰石註。凡如來隻字片言,悉由(予)一己之愚見,參悟評定。期歲書成,因發願鏤傳,印送萬部。用廣如來之慈悲,大啟眾生之智慧。今而後得書諸善信,緣經求法,因法悟覺。令真宗了徹,密諦通明。出生死途,登菩提岸。滅無量罪過,獲最勝福田。證果人天,永臻快樂。始信金剛經所說,悉是佛祖最上之密旨。而(予)之所言,真實不虗也。在(予)此註,不過為人指引途路之方向,令行者不致錯入崎嶇迂迴之境。他日有幸,或於如來會不結一指引之因緣已耳。願諸善信,早悟本靈,同歸西天極樂。上不負如來垂示之盛心,下不負(予)一點指引之微念。誠大快也。
