The now classic work on Buddhism and business from the foremost
American teacher of Tibetan Buddhism--reissued in a tenth anniversary
edition with compelling case studies that showcase its principles in
action around the globe.
With a unique combination of ancient and contemporary wisdom from
Tibetan Buddhism, The Diamond Cutter presents readers with empowering
strategies for success in their personal and professional lives. The
book is presented in three layers. The first is a translation of The
Diamond Sutra, an ancient text of conversations between the Buddha and
his close disciple, Subhuti. The second contains quotes from some of the
best commentaries in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. And the third
layer, the main text, is the practical application of Buddhist
philosophies to the world of business, based upon Geshe Michael Roach's
seventeen-years of experience as an employee of the Andin International
Diamond Corporation, a company that grew during his tenure from four
employees to a world leader in the jewelry industry.
Roach's easy style and spiritual understanding make The Diamond Cutter
an invaluable source of timeless wisdom for those familiar or unfamiliar
with Tibetan Buddhism. His focus on practical personal and business
applications has resonated with and changed the lives of hundreds of
thousands of individuals the world over since its original publication.
