Vajra Treatise Commentary and Explanation (金剛疏科釋)


No. 466-C

Chapter 466-C

金剛經者,諸家疏抄不可勝數,而智者大師科註未流傳此方久矣。咲菴南遊,曾獲斯本,雖欲刊行,所費難辦,故命余作一偈,徧叩緇素,以求樂施。若有破慳者,則泯諸有於六喻,證般若於當念,徑登金剛不壞場,豈不快哉。其偈曰:

The Diamond Sutra has been commented upon in countless works by various masters, yet the commentary and annotations by the Great Master Zhiyi have not circulated in this land for a long time. During my travels south, Master Xiao'an once obtained a copy of this text. Though he wished to publish it, the cost was difficult to raise. He therefore asked me to compose a verse to widely appeal to both monks and laypeople, seeking generous donations. Should anyone overcome their stinginess, they will, through the six similes, dissolve all attachments, realize Prajna in the present moment, and directly ascend to the indestructible state of the Diamond—how joyful that would be! The verse is as follows:

般若群談同不同, 䒶台科註要流通。
時人欲識金剛體, 只在方兄一諾中。
旹應永十九年龍集壬辰南呂下澣吉日寓龍華梵芳謹書
鎖釋金剛經科儀會要一卷

Here is the translation of the title:

**Essential Explanation of the Diamond Sutra Liturgical Compendium (One Volume)**

If you were referring to a short phrase ("鎖釋金剛經科儀會要") as a standalone scripture title, the above translation is correct. If you want it rendered in a fully accessible phrase for a general reader:

**A Concise Guide to the Diamond Sutra's Ritual Essentials (One Volume)**
