With a unique combination of ancient and contemporary wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, The Diamond Cutter presents readers with empowering strategies for success in their work and personal lives. Geshe Michael Roach, one of the great teachers today of Tibetan Buddhism, has richly woven The Diamond Cutter in three layers. The first is a translation of selections from the Diamond Sutra itself, an ancient text comprised of conversations between the Buddha and his close disciple Subhuti. Considered a central work by Buddhists throughout the world, the Diamond Sutra has been the focus of much interpretation over the centuries. In the second layer, Geshe Michael quotes from some of the best commentaries of the Tibetan tradition. In the main text, the third layer, he uses both sutra and commentary as a jumping-off point for presenting his own teaching. Geshe Michael gives fresh insight into ancient wisdom by using examples from his own experience as one of the founders of the Andin International Diamond Corporation, which was started with capital of fifty thousand dollars and which today has annual sales in excess of one hundred million dollars. Much of the success of Andin has come from applying the business strategies presented in The Diamond Cutter. Geshe Michael's easy style and spiritual understanding make this work of timeless wisdom an invaluable source for those already familiar with, and those unfamiliar with, Tibetan Buddhism.

The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is a classic Sanskrit treatise consisting of 195 “threads,” or aphorisms, describing the process of liberation through yoga. Although little is known about Patanjali (most scholars estimate that he lived in India circa 200–300 B.C.), his writings have long been recognized as a vital contribution to the philosophy and practice of yoga. This new, expert translation of the original Sanskrit text of Patanjali’s best-known work presents his seminal ideas and methods in accessible, plain-language English. Patanjali organized the sutra into four parts: Samadhi (absorption), Sadhana (practice), Vibhuti (supernatural powers), and Kaivalya (liberation). Each represents a step in breaking free of our limited definition of consciousness and training the mind to achieve oneness with the universe. Geshe Michael Roach, one of the most respected teachers of Tibetan Buddhism in America and a renowned scholar of Sanskrit, provides authoritative commentary on each of the sutras. His notes and clarification are straightforward and highly readable, untainted by obscure, academic terminology or New Age jargon. The first edition of the Yoga Sutra to present a Buddhist perspective, this paperback original will be welcomed by students and spiritual seekers alike.

This year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl, America’s annual war between the best two football teams in the country. Net income for Coca Cola is running a few billion dollars a year ahead of its bitter rival, Pepsi Cola. Recent news reports say that China has outdone the USA in rankings for the world’s fastest supercomputers; but America smashed China in the gold medals at Rio. Competition is built into the American way of life. But is it the best way to live? When we perceive the world as a football game—as a competition to beat others so we can be the best and biggest—is there a human cost that all of us pay? “China Love You” is a book written by two prominent businesspeople, one from America, and one from China. It tells the story of how both of them came across the same ancient book from Asia—the Diamond Cutter Sutra—in their early years, and used its wisdom to build two highly successful companies, one in New York and one in Beijing. Later, they met each other working on a business collaboration, and became close friends. In this book, they help all of us understand the differences between China and America, and give some revolutionary suggestions about how the two countries can work together, each helping the other to become more successful than ever before. What could the world be, if the two biggest economies made it their goal to make each other successful? And what will happen if we keep up the grand football game: What will happen to our children and our planet, if there is a second Cold War, and it goes bad? China Love You offers some solutions that could make the difference, for all of us.
