There is also the version from TNH. Can't exactly recall the tittle in English (I have the Spanish translation) but I think is something that goes over this lines: "The Diamond that cut through Illusion" . It's a very good version as the Ven. TNH is a great Scholar and gives lots of references. It also he gives first instruction of not reading his comments yet and await for the sutra penetrate into one. So it has two parts, the first with the sutra as transmitted and the second part with his comments on it. . --- On Wed, 9/3/11, Bill! <[email protected]> wrote:

I do have a couple books by Red Pine - The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain and The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma which I like a lot. I certainly would recommend Red Pine's translations. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], Chris Austin-Lane <chris@...> wrote: > > Red Pine has a Diamond Sutra translation also.
