As Red Pine Explains: The Diamond Sutra May Look Like A Book, But Its Really The Body Of The Buddha. Its Also Your Body, My Body, All Possible Bodies. But Its A Body With Nothing Inside And Nothing Outside. It Doesnt Exist In Space Or Time. Nor Is It A Construct Of The Mind. Its No Mind. And Yet Because Its No Mind, It Has Room For Compassion. This Book Is The Offering Of No Mind, Born Of Compassion For All Suffering Beings. Of All The Sutras That Teach This Teaching, This Is The Diamond.
