Manuscript of the Diamond Sutra
This multicolored manuscript is a powerful Buddhist religious device. It is a copy of the Diamond Sutra, a text that emphasizes how perceptible forms and the “emptiness” at their core arise together. The form of this manuscript embodies this lesson, as differently colored lines emerge from the dark emptiness of the text’s background. Each color signifies different precious substances— silver, gold, lapis, and coral.
