"Life need not remain a mystery, and while the peace we seek lies within ourselves, the profundity we seek lies in each other."
— MORE HUMAN MORE DIAMOND
COMMON SENSE, VOL. I
Common sense is less common than it seems. But if we will take some time to think, certain truths become obvious and self-evident.
MORE HUMAN, MORE DIAMOND
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there is an advanced practice called Vajrayana, which roughly translates to "The Diamond Path". Thanks to the dissemination of Tibetan culture, and the lineage of teachers who have kept this tradition alive, we have a rare and valuable opportunity to study and practice this masterful resource. This book outlines and unpacks the preparatory stages of these teachings with profound lucidity in language and concepts relevant to contemporary culture.
MORE DIAMOND, MORE HUMAN
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the commentaries written by advanced practitioners are considered to be precious jewels – precisely because of their ability to clarify the subtleties of theory and practice. The more clarity we develop, the more profoundly we experience our connection to others. The deeper this connection, the more meaningful our lives become.
More Diamond, More Human is the companion to More Human, More Diamond, which is the equivalent of a “root text” for these commentaries. While traditionally a root text may introduce practitioners to advanced perspectives, commentaries offer priceless interpretations of the teachings with even greater lucidity and relevance to the contemporary cultures in which they are composed.
