The "Diamond Sutra: Penetrating the Essence" by Zeng Fengyi of the Ming Dynasty is a significant commentary on the Diamond Sutra from a Chan (Zen) perspective. The author integrates the philosophies of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, systematically elucidating the concepts of Prajñā (wisdom) emptiness and Tathāgatagarbha (Buddha-nature) within the framework of the Tiantai school’s doctrinal classification. Through a section-by-section analysis and a holistic interpretation of its core principles, the work delves deeply into key teachings such as "no self" and "arising the mind without attachment," emphasizing the practical method of cultivating goodness while transcending appearances. As a representative Ming-era Chan commentary on the sutra, it not only facilitated the dissemination of the Diamond Sutra’s profound meaning but also showcased the harmonizing character of Chinese Buddhism, holding an important place in the history of Buddhist philosophy and scriptural interpretation.


No. 471-A金剛宗通緣起
蓋聞佛智甚深,上哲莫窺其際;聖言至妙,庸流豈識其端。空生唱無說而雨華,疑絲暗擲;無著昇兜率而面教,分部猶違。乃知般若無邊,允唯金剛第一。研窮匪易,信受誠希。幸偈衍於慈尊,繩墨具在;喜頌揚於大士,敲唱同符。西乾功德,施洞燭空假之致;長水刊定,記略標合併之規。均之羽翼天親,剖二十七疑而悉斷;要於鋪舒法體,破凡所有相以皆非。第破相之旨愈微,而如幻之觀漸密。已入住地,猶云無住相應;纔起度生,普令無度為尚。救偏於虗無之界,決機於杳靄之鄉。良以執隱於俱生,金剛其對證之劑;位登於等覺,此乘有到岸之功。唯佛能知,非凡所測。契此深深之義,還他上上之根。
在昔黃梅,獨謂是經能見性。於時六祖,果於言下便知歸。五葉既開,人握如來之印。一燈相續,別稱教外之傳。悟不由師,語多合轍。機鋒迥露,陸離寶劍之光。照用齊彰,璀璨摩尼之色。信乎後五百世,勿謂無人。若也持四句經,終當有入。鳳儀學慙專詣,識謝徧參。道味悅心,似有投於夙好。禪關娛老,或不昧於往因。適茲鬬諍之秋,橫出和同之見。謂宗即教,熾然說.無間說,盡屬言詮。謂教即宗,如來禪.祖師禪,總須坐卻。銷歸自己,拈華與拈句何殊。了徹那邊,所見與所聞奚異。斯則宗通即啟經之鑰,而說通亦入悟之門也。
障礙都融,真如頓顯。若夫鳩摩擅譯,業示信於舌根;而冥主效靈,詔補遺於石刻。眾生一段,慧命偶增。乃至色見聲求,尚遺四句之偈;如露如電,尤闕三種之緣。偈論既有明徵,經文焉可殘略?僭錄唐譯,用備周觀。重釋偈言,附載篇末。頃緣先君奄逝,日誦斯經,因於墓次參求,遂成此集。冀微霑乎湛露,庶少潤於枯骸。依金剛以藏形,敢企清涼之窟;偶山名之相似,聊資般若之熏。法與地而俱靈,幽與明而永賴。敬付剞劂,廣為流通。儻取證於無生,均銜恩於罔極。
