    The Lotus Sutra and the Diamond Sutra are important texts among the Buddhist scriptures, and both express the core teachings and practices of Buddhism. However, since the content and focus of the two classics are different, it is difficult to say which one has more profound meaning.

    The Lotus Sutra, the full name of which is the Lotus Sutra, is what Shakyamuni Buddha said after his enlightenment, in the heavenly realms and in the immeasurable land, one by one, for the bodhisattvas and others, when he gave a speech on the cause and effect of the endless Dharma realm.

    The Diamond Sutra is a Buddhist scripture, and its full name is the Sutra of Breaking the Vajra Prajnaparamita. Due to its moderate length, it has been widely disseminated, and there are commentaries on the Three Treatises, Tiantai, Xianshou, and Weizhi sects, which are especially valued by Zen Buddhism after Huineng.

    Therefore, it is impossible to simply which classic has more meaning. Both texts have important positions in different Buddhist sects, and both have their own unique teachings and methods of practice.
