A beautiful edition of an essential Buddhist text, the Diamond Sutra—with Thich Nhat Hanh’s own diamond-sharp insights on living harmoniously with our environment, communities, and families.
The Diamond Sutra, a mainstay of the Mahayana tradition, has fascinated Buddhists for centuries because of its insights into dualism and illusion: the “diamond” can cut through any obstacle on the road to enlightenment.
In The Diamond That Cuts Through Illusion, the Buddha and his disciple Subhuti teach us how to cut through our dualistic ways of looking at the world in order to have a deeper contact with the wondrous reality that is inside and all around us. In his lively and penetrating commentaries, Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how this understanding leads to a deep reverence for the environment, and he applies the Buddha’s teachings to our own experience, giving practical examples from community and family life, couple relationships, and social service.
