[Buddha-l] Best translations of DIAMOND SUTRA?

Probably the most reliable is the one by Edward Conze, based on the Sanskrit 
text. It's packaged with his translation of the Heart Sutra, and his 
commentary which is especially helpful for non-specialists. Titled _Buddhist 
Wisdom: The Diamond Sutra and Heart Sutra_ (older title was Buddhist Wisdom 
Books with same subtitle, the current edition has dropped "books" from the 
title and added several "prefaces" by some people eager to squeeze their 
names next to Conze's without doing their own translations). All for less 
than $11 at amazon.
