The Diamond Sutra, as this text is known in English, is one of the most popular texts in Mahayana Buddhism. Here we present the Diamond Sutra as a four-level tiered reading, where level 4 is the original text and level 1 is highly simplified.
The Diamond Sutra is written in what is sometimes called Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit (BHS), a mix between classical Sanskrit and other vernacular languages of the time. The first two levels of our adaptation use classical Sanskrit, and the last two incorporate more features of BHS.
