The Diamond Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra (金刚般若波罗蜜经) is one of the most profound and influential teachings in the Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition. Revered for its penetrating wisdom, it challenges our habitual ways of seeing ourselves, others, and the world, revealing a path towards greater freedom, clarity, and compassion.

Yet many practitioners find its teachings difficult to grasp at first. Through this three-month workshop, Venerable Chuan Jia will guide participants in exploring the key themes and insights of the Diamond Sūtra in a systematic and accessible manner.

Drawing from both the sūtra’s teachings and practical application in daily life, participants will learn how attachment to views, identities, and fixed perceptions gives rise to suffering, and how wisdom can transform the way we relate to our experiences.

Whether you are encountering the Diamond Sūtra for the first time or returning with deeper interest, this 3-month workshop offers a structured exploration of one of Buddhism’s most transformative teachings, held in a supportive learning environment.

The full 3-monthworkshop is designed as a progressive unfolding of the teaching, where each month deepens and builds on the previous.

At the same time, each month is taught as a complete module, so participants may also enter from any point—whether Part One, Two, or Three—according to their interest and circumstances.

What You Will Explore

  • The meaning of emptiness and non-attachment
  • Letting go of fixed views and self-centred perspectives
  • The Bodhisattva path and compassionate action
  • Applying the wisdom of the Diamond Sūtra in daily life
  • Reflection and discussion on key passages and teachings


May the study and contemplation of The Diamond Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra support the cultivation of wisdom, compassion, and inner freedom.
