The Diamond Sutra (Heere Jaisa Gyan)

Vajra Sutra ek bahut hi purani aur mahan kitab hai. Ise English bhasha mein 'Diamond Sutra' bhi kaha jata hai. Yeh kitab Buddha ki shikshaon (teachings) par aadharit hai. Isme bataya gaya hai ki ek accha, shant aur saccha insaan kaise bana ja sakta hai. Yeh kitab lagbhag 2500 saal pehle ki ek ghatna ke baare mein batati hai jisne logon ko jeene ka ek naya rasta dikhaya. Vajra Ka Matlab Kya Hai? Sabse pehle yeh jante hain ki is kitab ka naam Vajra Sutra kyun rakha gaya. 'Vajra' ka matlab hota hai 'Heera' yani Diamond. Heera duniya ki sabse majboot (hard) chiz hoti hai. Yeh kisi bhi doosre pathar ya kaanch ko bahut aasani se kaat sakti hai, par isko koi aur chiz nahi kaat sakti. Is kitab ka naam Vajra Sutra isliye hai kyunki isme diya gaya gyan bilkul heere jaisa sakht aur chamakdar hai. Hamare dimaag mein jo bhi dar, gussa ya galat vichar hote hain, Vajra Sutra ka gyan unhe heere ki tarah kaat deta hai. Yeh humein sachi aur bilkul saaf soch deta hai. Yeh kitab darasal ek baat-cheet hai. Ek din Buddha Jeta Grove naam ke ek bahut sundar baag (garden) mein baithe the. Wahan bahut shanti thi. Unke aas-paas unke hazaron vidyarthi (students) baithe the. Unhi mein se ek sabse samajhdar vidyarthi tha, jiska naam Subhuti tha. Subhuti ne apni jagah se khade hokar Buddha se ek bahut zaroori sawal poocha, "Bhagwan, jo log ek accha aur nek kaam karna chahte hain, unhe apna man kaise shant rakhna chahiye?" Buddha ne pyar se Subhuti ke sawal ka jo jawab diya, wahi is kitab mein likha hua hai. Ek Purani Aur Anmol Kitab Ka Sach Vajra Sutra sirf gyan ki kitab nahi hai, iska apna ek bahut anokha itihaas (history) bhi hai. Duniya ki sabse purani chapi hui (printed) kitab jis par date likhi ho, wo Vajra Sutra hi hai. Bahut saal pehle, China desh ki Dunhuang naam ki ek gufa (cave) mein yeh kitab mili thi. Ise lakdi ke tukdon par design banakar chapa gaya tha. Is kitab par 11 May 868 CE ki date chapi hui hai. Iska matlab yeh hai ki yeh kitab kareeb 1150 saal purani hai. Aaj ke samay mein yeh anmol kitab London shahar ki British Library mein bahut dhyan se sambhal kar rakhi gayi hai. ---------- 00:00:00 Chapter 1: The Gathering 00:00:42 Chapter 2: Subhuti's Question 00:03:05 Chapter 3: The Core Teaching 00:04:46 Chapter 4: Giving Without Attachment 00:06:44 Chapter 5: True Vision of the Buddha 00:07:56 Chapter 6: The Rarity of True Faith 00:10:41 Chapter 7: Nothing Attained, Nothing Spoken 00:11:59 Chapter 8: Merit of the Truth 00:13:43 Chapter 9: The Four Stages Beyond Form 00:17:40 Chapter 10: Purifying the Buddha Land 00:20:18 Chapter 11: The Supreme Merit of Unconditioned Virtue 00:22:07 Chapter 12: Revering the True Teaching 00:23:20 Chapter 13: The Name and Nature of the Scripture 00:26:05 Chapter 14: Extinguishing Appearances to Realize Peace 00:32:21 Chapter 15: The Merit of Holding this Sutra 00:33:50 Chapter 16: Purifying Karmic Obstacles 00:35:28 Chapter 17: Ultimately No Self 00:41:07 Chapter 18: The Five Eyes and Single Vision 00:44:05 Chapter 19: The Reality of Merit in the Dharma Realm 00:44:44 Chapter 20: Transcending Form and Physical Marks 00:46:26 Chapter 21: Teaching Without Spoken Words 00:48:00 Chapter 22: No Dharma to be Attained 00:48:38 Chapter 23: Pure Mind and Virtuous Action 00:49:33 Chapter 24: Incomparable Merit and Wisdom 00:50:06 Chapter 25: Liberating Without Anyone Liberated 00:51:59 Chapter 26: The Dharmakaya is Not Form 00:53:20 Chapter 27: Neither Extinction Nor Annihilation 00:54:31 Chapter 28: No Attachment, No Grasping 00:56:08 Chapter 29: The Silence of the Absolute 00:56:52 Chapter 30: Particles of Dust and the Composite Universe 00:56:49 Chapter 31: Freedom from Views and Concepts 01:00:23 Chapter 32: The Transience of Manifestations
