Description

The Chinese calligrapher Zhang Jizhi (張即之, 1186–1266) made this handwritten edition of the Diamond Sutra (section depicted) on 18 July 1253 during the Song dynasty. The calligraphy is in the style of the regular script with elements of the running script. The transcription of sutras, a practice for which Zhang Jizhi was well-known, was considered an act of accumulating merit in Buddhism.

The Indian monk Kumarajiva (鳩摩羅什, 344–415) was the translator of the Diamond Sutra from Sanskrit into Chinese. Kumarajiva's translated text was used by Zhang Jizhi in making the depicted work.
