About This Item
Santa Barbara: Dwight Goddard, 1973 Stapled spine. Reprint of the 1935 original, reprinted by Theosophy Weekly. The principal teaching of the Diamond Sutra is that all definitive things, phenomena, and ideas are subjective and unreal, being merely manifestations of one's own mind; that even the highest conceptions of the Dharma and Tathagata are mind-made. From the collection of Sanje (Frank) Elliott, Buddhist mentor, artist, and friend to many. Condition notes: 24 numbered pp; PB; top corner barely thumbed, spine mildly sunned, straight vertical scratch/very shallow cut at top to bottom across back cover. About very good.
