Product Description
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.

A Splendid Read for Buddhists and Non-Buddhists.

I had never heard of Michael Roach until I searched out Shoutcast (Internet Radio) and found the Tibetan Buddhist station. Being of that tradition, I was delighted to find the station.
The program that was on at that time was Dharma talks by Michael on The Heart Sutra, a most important Buddhist teaching.
I was so taken with his messages and the way he could get these deep ideas across so easily that I wanted to learn more about him. That's when I discovered that he had a new book out, The Diamond Cutter. So I bought a copy at Amazon.
Michael spent many years in the New York Diamond industry. He explains that he was attracted to diamonds because they are the hardest form in the universe.
This book is about business. It is about the problems that we all encounter in business daily. And it tells us how to handle the problem and why every problem has a cause, perhaps not in this lifetime but in some lifetime.
Michael clearly explains why some people who are greedy and unkind are successful. No, it's nothing they've done in this life but rather they did something of merit in another life that brought the wealth in this lifetime. But in another lifetime they will reap the Karma they're now sowing.
He tells us that if we wish to be wealthy, we need to be generous with our money and our time.
Michael uses his vast knowledge of the diamond industry to teach business ethics from a Buddhist perspective based on the all-important teaching of Lord Buddha in His Diamond Cutter (Vajrachchedika sutra).
I highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who cares about their business, their relationships, their finances and their life in general.

Don't know what to say.. (79 stars!!!:))
ByJ. Malnaron February 22, 2006
and I don't end up speechless often.
Since I started reading this book 4 days ago I retold the basics of its lessons to half a dozen friends, and they have been adding their names to the waiting list to borrow it.
This book came into my life at the time when I already reached the level of spiritual understanding needed to put it into practice.
The bottom line of the book (and the buddhist teaching) is that every thing we DO, SAY and THINK, leaves an imprint onto our minds. Good or bad.
The more positive imprints we "stamp" onto our consciousness, the more positive our life's circumstances will be, resulting in more positive experiences.
Most desirable imprints we can plant in our minds, summarized in an 1800 years old poem by an indian master (quoted from the book):
I'll tell you briefly the fine qualities
of those on path of compassion
Giving, and ethics, patience and effort,
concentrating, wisdom, compassion and such.
Giving is giving away what you have,
And ethics is doing good to others.
Patience is giving up feelings of anger,
And effort is joy that increases all good.
Concentration 's one pointed, free of bad thoughts,
And wisdom decides what truth really is.
Compassion's a kind of high intelligence
Mixed deep with love for all living kind.
Giving brings wealth, a good world comes from ethics;
Patience brings beauty, eminence comes from effort.
Concentration brings peace, and from wisdom comes freedom;
Compassion achieves everything we all wish for.
On how to use the knowledge given in Buddha's teaching in everyday life, do read the book. Its going to change your life. Or rather, it will give you tools to start changing your life.
I already started changing mine.

Got through my thick skull what nothing else hasn't!
ByStewart Wilkinson March 23, 2000
I'm not Buddhist, but after reading Michael Roach's book, "The Diamond Cutter", I'm devouring everything about Tibetan Buddhism I can get my hot little hands on!
I've searched 52 years for the meaning of this insanity we call life in hundreds of books, tapes, seminars, Martial Arts, a Trappist Monastery, and one on one studying with people who meant well; but Michael Roach explained it all--at least to me--logically and better than anyone ever has! Screw the writing style! That's only someone's opinion anyway. Geshe Roach tells it like it is, and does so in a humble way. Hell, check out any of the organizations the author has created or is involved in. These people spread their message of compassion for free! That's certainly a new one on me! It's my humble opinion that Michael Roach indeed "walks the walk". Sincere people like that are hard to find here in the good old Y2K USA!
Like Roach (and the Buddha himself) said: "Try it and see if it works for you." It's sure working so far for me--very well! Well, I very much hope that it works even weller, er, sorry, I mean better, for you!
By the way, I sought out the book for my personal and spiritual growth more than the business angle. Interestingly enough, I'm more comfortable about my business dealings now which, oddly enough, have taken a decided turn for the better.

A Gem
ByTrong Nguyenon September 30, 2000
This book presents many insights on parts of the Diamond Sutra. (The "Diamond Cutter" name is interestingly new to me, as I have been only familiar with the shorter "Diamond" and the longer "Diamond That Cuts Through Delusions".) The author's interpretations are refreshing, even without the context of business challenges, of which his diamond venture serves as a unique background. It is rare to have aspects of the Dharma presented by a young, life-engaging monk, and an American to boost. In particular, the notion of "mental imprints" is deeply important with respect to how one perceives and constructs the world. As a bonus, I learn a few things about diamond, diamond cutting, and the diamond trade.
Unlike another reviewer, I am supportive of Geshe Roach in his presenting the Diamond Sutra through the particular form of this book -- a manifestation of what Buddhist tradition calls "skillful means".
About the 4 stars: I wish the writing could be tightened up in various places. (But then again, this subjective observation of mine may be the effects of imprints left by my earlier writing courses.)

Ancient Wisdom with Modern Enterprise
ByKimberley Laffertyon October 23, 2003
Geshe Michael Roach combines 15 years as an international business executive, with the wisdom accrued by living a life dedicated to spiritual evolution. In fact, his phenomenal success as a business man was directly caused by following the principles outlined in The Diamond Cutter.
This book is an incredible guideline for not only how to be an sucessful, ethical businessperson, but how the world actually works. The point is not the dogmatic notion of virtue, but the logic behind it. Why does generosity lead to wealth? Why does kindness lead to happiness? The key lies in two concepts clearly articulated by Geshe Roach in The Diamond Cutter: Hidden Potential and Mental Imprints.
Read this book if you want to know why you experience your world the way you do, and the speciic causes for creating the business, and the life, that you desire. Learn how to get to the end of your career, and look back and know that it was worth it. This book is highly recommended.

The Diamond Cutter book is very practical and a very special book. I read it a month ago and I can't say now that all of the principals do really work but my gut tells me that it is all true. One of the main ideas in the book is to take 2 or more weeks in solitude and to tackle the biggest challenges in your work and life, away from all the noise in the city and people - just to spend some time alone and listen to your mind. I usually do the most difficult things to feel the main idea, so I took 2 weeks away from work and went it in the mountains all by myself.
Believe it or not, I found answers to all of my challenges in work and in life. It was a very very scary thing and a really painful one; to see the bare naked truth of why I am the way I am and why I can't achieve what I like and desire. The truth was one and simple though. Nevertheless, it was really difficult to listen to my mind becoming louder and louder every day.
Ever since I'm back, I feel my life has been changed even though I am still the same. One small change in me that I can give as an example is that I don't write reviews on Amazon or anywhere else because it takes a lot of time and effort, and why would I bother to do it? Nothing I could gain - that's how I was thinking before. I just read what others have written and then I decide to purchase something here on Amazon or not. After reading The Diamond Cutter and Karmic Management, as you can see, I write reviews because there is something in me that believes now that what goes around comes around. Get the book and do something with it; reading is just reading - nice but take some action, then the change will come inevitably.

The Real Thing
ByAmazon Customeron March 13, 2000
I first have to say that I did not buy this so much for the business angle--I'm more just on the lookout for any new Buddhist material I can find. This is probably the freshest book in the realm of "American Buddhism" that I've read in the last year. I hadn't heard of Roach before, but I now feel that he truly is one of the most important Buddhist teachers in the U.S. today. (If you haven't already seen it you should look at the interview Amazon did with him.) The writing in Diamond Cutter isn't always so great, but Roach has a superior talent for explaining elements of Tibetan Buddhism in a way that is light years ahead of many other books out there in terms of accessibility. Perhaps that's because he is American born, so he really knows how to communicate with his contemporaries, but even beyond that he appears to have a great mind. This isn't great as a Buddhist primer, but if you are at all familiar with Buddhism you'll probably get some real insights out of this one.

a bit scary
Bykaioateyon March 27, 2007
This is a guidebook to achieving 'success" in the business world through application of perception practices developed by Tibetans. The book is based on sound Buddhist methodology, written by a highly competent and experienced person (geshe, no less).
One potential concern is that some of the suggestions and ideas Roach writes about are about becoming a clever manipulator. Becoming skilled in these practices gives one an edge over fellow humans. Roach himself is controversial, has broken his monk vows, was excommunicated from his order, renounced by his teacher Geshe Thubten Rinchen, and is no loner welcome in Dharamsala. One view of his current situation might be that Roach is pioneering a new, revolutionary Vajrayana path; other views are not so charitable.
This work opens the question of compatibility of vajrayana and business practices. I can understand that Roach is selling the idea that business canbe a 'chop wood-carry water' activity, no different from practice as, say, meditation. Yet, i know of no zen monks or Tibetan masters who actually subscribe to or embody this idea. Modern business is based on profit and ego. Perhaps tantrikas rightfully scorn the traditionalists. Yet the guy who comes to mind is no other than the ultimate scam master, Rajneesh himself. Dangerous territory.

Worthless
ByTomas A. Malyon August 23, 2010
This book, as great as the reviews are, turned out to be 99% fluff. Most of the book is pointless side talk about his days in the diamond cutting industry and most of it has nothing to do with anything useful. The actual meat of the book is one chapter (chapter 7) which essentially is one big sermon for karma and the law of attraction. It's so absurd that it's laughable. Acts of God (natural disasters, etc) are caused from not keeping your promises. Toxicity and poor health in the workplace and industries are caused from sexual harassment. Your boss treating you negatively is because you feel negative thoughts (like it has nothing to do with THEIR job, THEIR life, THEIR childhoods, THEIR problems, etc). Real estate markets will suddenly open up once you help other people with giving them business space. You'll get whatever you want if you put your heart/mind in the right place.
Right. Generosity, passion, goodwill, compassion, gratitude, etc are important and fundamental to success, yes. That works because it changes our perception of ourselves and how others perceive us as well. But it's nonsense to believe that everything that goes wrong is because you caused it or let it happen, that everything is under your control, or that success magically happens because you will it so and have a good heart.
2500 years ago this system of believing in karma worked because the world was very simple back then. These days, it's more complicated, chaotic, destructive and stressful than ever. Karma can't explain or help us through all of that.
This wasn't a book on Buddhism at all, besides the idea of karma. His interpretation of the 'sutra' (which is no more than 4 paragraphs) is far fetched.
If you paid attention at all, you'd notice early on that he admits it's all about karma, but refuses to use that specific word so you think he's got something unique/new. Sadly, the actual useful parts of the book could have been summarized on two pages.
There are many other better books on Buddhism and business. Search on Amazon for "Zen Business", "Spiritual Business", "Spiritual Money", etc..
I refuse to sell this book to someone else because I can't in right conscience condone the purchase or reading of this book.
