The Diamond Sutra (Chin-Kang-Ching) or Prajna-Paramita

Note 4 — THE DIAMOND SUTRA

William Gemmell translation

“ho-ru-to-lo-san-mao-san-pu-ti (Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi), literally unexcelled perfect intelligence. Another more painstaking but arbitrary explanation is untarnished and unparalleled (Nuttara) correct view (Sam) and complete wisdom (Myak) with complete possession of the highest sentiments (Sambodhi). This term, one of the sacred phrases of most frequent occurrence, signifies the characteristics which every Buddha possesses.” —Handbook of Chinese Buddhism. Eitel.

“The unsurpassed, just, and enlightened heart.”—Kin-Kong-King. Beal.
