SUMMARY:The Diamond Cutter Sutra: Oral Transmission and Commentary
DESCRIPTION:The Diamond Cutter Sutra is one of Buddhism’s most important texts on the nature of reality and wisdom. Written as a dialogue between the Buddha and his student Subhūti\,\, it uses paradox and pointed questions to undermine fixed ideas about self\, phenomena\, and even enlightenment itself. For centuries\, it has been central to Mahayana Buddhism\, especially in Tibetan and East Asian traditions. \nThis short course offers an overview of the sutra’s essential teachings\, along with the oral transmission of the sutra from Geshe Thubten Sherab. Receiving transmission in the Mahayana tradition is a meaningful opportunity to connect with this text and the lineage through which it has been preserved and taught. \nOver the course of our sessions\, we’ll explore the sutra’s main points: how it challenges our habitual grasping at things as solid and permanent and what it teaches about emptiness and the bodhisattva path. \nWhat you will gain: \n\nAn introduction to the sutra’s core logic and its approach to emptiness\nDirect connection to an oral teaching lineage through Geshe Sherab’s transmission\nPractical understanding of how the sutra’s teachings relate to meditation and daily practice\nA foundation for further study if you choose to return to the text\n\nThis course is open to anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy and practice; whether you’re encountering the Diamond Cutter Sutra for the first time or returning to deepen your understanding. \nPrayers for Screen Share \nCourse Materials \nOpen door\, open heart. Donations are always optional.
