The Diamond Sutra, also known as the Diamond Cutter Sutra, is a Buddhist text that belongs to the Prajnaparamita class of sutras, which are texts that focus on the perfection of wisdom. The Diamond Sutra is considered one of the most important Mahayana sutras and is particularly revered in the Chan and Zen traditions of Buddhism.

The Diamond Sutra emphasizes the teachings of emptiness, the lack of inherent existence in all phenomena and the importance of non-dual wisdom. It presents the idea that all things are like a dream or illusion and that one should not cling to them as real. The text also emphasizes the need for an attitude of non-attachment and non-discrimination in order to achieve enlightenment.

The text also contains the famous verse: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Emptiness is not other than form, form is not other than emptiness." This verse encapsulates the main teaching of the sutra, that all things are empty of inherent existence, and that the nature of reality is a unity of form and emptiness.

The Diamond Sutra is also known for its emphasis on the practice of skillful means, which means using different methods to help others to achieve enlightenment, and the practice of compassion.

The Diamond Sutra is widely studied and practiced in the East Asian Buddhism, and it's considered a fundamental text in the Mahayana Buddhism.
