In this course, we read and analyze the entire Buddha text, The Diamond Sutra, while explaining the underlying meanings and context surrounding the teaching.
This is one of the most popular Buddhist texts and is one of the central texts for the Buddhist School of Emptiness. The teaching of Emptiness is especially important to our study of Buddhism because it highlights the Middle Path, one that refrains from all extremities. As a result, we can find peace of mind that is free from greed, anger, and ignorance, the three poisons that inhibit our spiritual awakening.
The Diamond Sutra explores four key concepts: giving without attachment to self, liberating beings without notions of self and other, living without attachment, and cultivating without attainment. By practicing these teachings in our everyday lives, we can free ourselves from suffering associated with a strong attachment to ego, false thoughts, and impulsive actions.
The course consists of 4 sections: The introduction, the background of the sutra, the reading and analysis of the sutra, and finally the summary of the practice.
By structuring the course such wise, we allow you to not only understand the teaching by reading it first hand, but I also provide deep insight into the context, underlying meaning as well as practical steps to incorporating the teachings of Emptiness into an easy-to-understand practice.
Best wishes and hope you enjoy the course.
Byron Li.

My name is Byron and I am from Sydney, Australia. Being raised in a Buddhist household, I have always had a strong fascination and deep affinity with the Buddha Dharma which lead me to become a Buddhist Monk in Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Taiwan.
After 2 years of intense practice, I decided to disrobe and continue my journey in the secular world, as I wished to be closer to the people. 2 years have passed since I disrobed and I now spend much of my time teaching, writing, and producing content on many different platforms.
It is my goal to learn everything, connect with everyone, and give the world all that I can.
Thank you for reading.
Byron
