real-life business experience come together in this brief and
practical guide, which offers a step-by-step plan that will help
readers adopt a more successful way of working and living.
KARMIC MANAGEMENT is a little book with a revolutionary message. It
turns traditional business mentality on its head by stating simply
that helping others become successful--suppliers, customers, even
competitors--is the real key to success in life as well as in
business.
Drawing from their own entrepreneurial experiences, the authors
explain how, in eight basics steps "that take less than one hour in
total," readers can learn to apply KARMIC MANAGEMENT to meet goals,
both personal and professional. Each lesson opens with a quotation
from a Buddhist text and explains how it applies to life and work
in the twenty-first century. The authors show readers how to
identify the things that aren't working for them, discover their
most valuable assets, and use their new insights to improve the
lives of others. To-do lists throughout the book provide practical
tools and exercises, and real-life examples highlight the power of
KARMIC MANAGEMENT to make dreams come true.

With a unique combination of ancient and contemporary wisdom from
Tibetan Buddhism, THE DIAMOND CUTTER presents readers with
empowering strategies for success in their personal and
professional lives. The book is presented in three layers. The
first is a translation of The Diamond Sutra, an ancient text of
conversations between the Buddha and his close disciple, Subhuti.
The second contains quotes from some of the best commentaries in
the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. And the third layer, the main text,
is the practical application of Buddhist philosophies to the world
of business, based upon Geshe Michael Roach's seventeen-years of
experience as an employee of the Andin International Diamond
Corporation, a company that grew during his tenure from four
employees to a world leader in the jewelry industry.
Roach's easy style and spiritual understanding make THE DIAMOND
CUTTER an invaluable source of timeless wisdom for those familiar
or unfamiliar with Tibetan Buddhism. His focus on practical
personal and business applications has resonated with and changed
the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals the world over
since its original publication.
The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali is a classic Sanskrit treatise
consisting of 195 "threads," or aphorisms, describing the process
of liberation through yoga. Although little is known about
Patanjali (most scholars estimate that he lived in India circa
200-300 b.c.), his writings have long been recognized as a vital
contribution to the philosophy and practice of yoga. This new,
expert translation of the original Sanskrit text of Patanjali's
best-known work presents his seminal ideas and methods in
accessible, plain-language English.
Patanjali organized the sutra into four parts: Samadhi
(absorption), Sadhana (practice), Vibhuti (supernatural powers),
and Kaivalya (liberation). Each represents a step in breaking free
of our limited definition of consciousness and training the mind to
achieve oneness with the universe. Geshe Michael Roach, one of the
most respected teachers of Tibetan Buddhism in America and a
renowned scholar of Sanskrit, provides authoritative commentary on
each of the sutras. His notes and clarification are straightforward
and highly readable, untainted by obscure, academic terminology or
New Age jargon. The first edition of the Yoga Sutra to present a
Buddhist perspective, this paperback original will be welcomed by
students and spiritual seekers alike.
With The Garden, centuries of Tibetan Buddhist wisdom are brought to life for readers by one of its greatest Western teachers, Michael Roach. Through a parable in which a young man is brought into a mystical garden by a beautiful embodiment of Wisdom, Roach presents the pantheon of great Tibetan teachers. The nameless seeker lured to the garden meets the dominant historical figures who have contributed fundamental teachings to Tibetan Buddhism, such as Tsong Khapa, the first Dalai Lama, and Master Kamalashila. Unique among works of Buddhism now available, The Garden is destined to become a classic for its lucid revelation of the secrets of the Tibetan tradition and for the wisdom Geshe Michael Roach evokes.
