Been reading Thich Nhat Hanh's "The Diamond that Cuts Through Illusion", pretty nice book and I feel that his commentary's pretty beginner-friendly, although he mentioned something about tortoise hair and rabbit horns that I recalled Master 慧律 instructed to ignore as he was going through a commentary... anyway that's another post for another day.
I'm going to do a english-to-chinese version of the Sutra, mainly because I can't link them both up well purely in my mind and would like a soft copy to study, maybe even with hanyu pinyin. The chinese translation has pretty much been set in stone but I actually have no idea if the translation in the book is the best english one out there, so I'm wondering if anyone can point me to any famously good translations out there, if there's such a thing.
Hi Jui, I was pretty sure there used to be a thread with links to good English translations of the Diamond and Heart Sutras. Can't find that thread anymore though.
This was the version:
Cool! Thanks a lot realization :)
