Paper Summary:

This paper highlights the four main philosophies of the Diamond Sutra:
1) Liberation
2) Newton's Third Law
3) Perception of Attributes
4) "Showing the Way"
The paper is built around various quotes from the sutra. An explanation for each quote is given, and the quotes are studies for what light they shed on Buddhist teachings.

From the Paper:

"This passage is meant to expand the reader's understanding of the multitude of creatures that must be liberated in Buddhist culture. By including all of these categories, the reader can easily understand that humans are not the only creatures that this text must be applied to. Instead, it can be applied to all creatures that are born. This group includes, but is not limited to: bugs, fish, elephants, mice, as well as humans. It also includes creatures that can think and ones that do not have the ability to think at all. No matter how many beings there are, they must all be liberated."
