About this listen

 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 17-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.

My Guru suggested this book to me. Several times.

As a recognized Tulku and dedicated practitioner of over 70yrs I was a little surprised to find a book such as this being recommended by him.

However, it's delivery of profound topics is deceptively skillful and frequently inspiring.

not unlike my kind teacher. 🙏❤️🌈

Surprisingly insightful.

The book is great and full of insights, but it's hard to listen to because of the narrator's unclear voice. You really need to work to understand what he’s saying.

Amazing book, bad audio

I have bought several copies of this book just to give away as gifts because that is what this book is. A gift! A true Aladdin’s lamp, miracle maker, world changer. I am so fortunate and so grateful for this. May this change your life as it has changed mine, both in business and personally. The cherry on the top is peace of mind and a beautiful spiritual life as well. Thank you.

If I were to recommend only 1 book it would be this one
