"In each of the sections of the Diamond Sutra some type of view is being worked on: what you are involved with and how you are approaching things. You can see that one of the main wrong views working behind all other views is the subtlety of an ego-view: that there is someone, some ego-identity getting an enlightenment, and also, by the way, that the Buddha is an identity. That is not to say that the Buddha isn't, but the Buddha neither is nor is not. You have to reconcile both realms of truth: relativity - which is just a measurement- with absolute truth, total view, samma-ditthi. The sutra has you working towards that."
These six CD's are from archival recordings of nine discourses given by Namgyal Rinpoche on the Diamond Sutra between April 16-26, 2002. The quality of the recordings is not high-fidelity. They have been restored to the best quality possible but the sound quality of some is better than others due to factors such as microphone placement and ambient sounds. Bodhi Publishing trusts that listeners will benefit, nonetheless, from hearing Rinpoche's teaching, as it transcends these technical limitations.
