Dijamantna sutra

Dijamantna sūtra (Sanskrit: Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra), je kratka Mahāyāna budistička sūtra iz žanra Prajñāpāramitā ("Savršenstvo mudrosti"), poznata po tome što naglašava prakticiranje neslušanja i nevezivanja. Njen ispravni naziv je Sjekač dijamanata savršene mudrosti, ali je popularniji naziv Dijamantna sūtra.

Kopija kineske verzije Dijamantne sutre, koja je početkom 20. vijeka pronađena među Dunhuanškim rukopisima i potom datirana u 868. godinu je, prema navodima Britanske biblioteke, "najstariji sačuvan tekst štampan tehnikom drvoreza."
