This paper examines the meaning of the Diamond Sutra to people since it was introduced to China and translated and disseminated by Gumarajip through the various stories of the Diamond Sutra from the TaiPingGuangJi-Retribution episode. The way of accepting the Diamond Sutra described in these works was also a way of salvation for many people to overcome the limits of life and death. Analyzing these works, we confirmed that the merit of reciting the Diamond Sutra is replacing hidden virtue, which was a means of 'extension of life' in ancient Chinese concepts. Also, in the story preaching that possessing the Diamond Sutra itself is an invaluable merit, regardless of whether the contents are understood or not, we could witness that the religious beliefs of the Chinese people about the Diamond Sutra reached the climax.
