Trained in the Tibetan tradition and translating from the Tibetan, McLeod approaches the  Diamond Sutra  not as a philosophical treatise but as a series of pointing out instructions, that is, ways to cut through conceptual thinking to the essence of what we are. In short, it is a translation for practitioners crafted by a long-term practitioner and teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a guide for those who aspire to the bodhisattva ideal and seek to experience life as it is, not as they imagine it to be. It offers a devotional and experiential encounter with a text that for centuries has confounded those who rely on conceptual thinking, stopped the minds of beginners and masters alike, and revealed the possibility of a totally different way of living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough clear, natural language and careful word choice that reflect both the text's spiritual depth and conversational tone, McLeod opens a way for modern readers to experience directly the ineffable clarity that is this sutra's essential teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52855394336984,"sku":"YSL83433","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71hEHXkyhyL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793418270","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0fppcgg7g","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
