Hari TulsidasThe Buddhist Diamond Sutra is the world’s oldest surviving complete printed book, dating back to 868 AD. The book is a sacred text of Mahayana Buddhism, which teaches the wisdom of emptiness and compassion. The book was discovered in a hidden cave in Dunhuang, China, in 1900, along with thousands of other manuscripts and artworks. The book is now preserved in the British Library and is available online for anyone to read.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Buddhism</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DiamondSutra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DiamondSutra</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Dunhuang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dunhuang</a> <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2023/08/discover-the-buddhist-diamond-sutra-the-worlds-oldest-surviving-complete-printed-book-868-ad.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=shaneless%2Fmagazine%2Fancient+historicity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.openculture.com/2023/08/discover-the-buddhist-diamond-sutra-the-worlds-oldest-surviving-complete-printed-book-868-ad.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=shaneless%2Fmagazine%2Fancient+historicity</a>+
