"The [Diamond] sutra is a discourse between the Buddha and his disciple Subhuti. It is so named because it ‘cuts through’ ignorance and delusion like a diamond, and its teachings are as indestructible as the gemstone itself. The sutra explores the concept of ’emptiness’ or ‘sunyata’, a key tenet of Mahayana Buddhism, and the idea of non-self or ‘anatta’." — spiritualculture.org/diamond-sutra/
