Meditations on and around the Diamond Sutra
with tao yoga & qigong

Words that go beyond words
This revered sutra, a mahayana text, a zen text, a text beyond traditions, points to the insubstantiality of phenomena, all appearences. It cuts through illusion, opens us to the dimension of the real.

Recitation, meditation
Recitation of sacred text produces a profound impact on the mind of the reciter and all who are listening. Hui Neng, a future patriarch of Chan [zen] was said to have realsied his enlightenment when he by chance heard the Diamond Sutra being recited on his way to market.

Using the Diamond to cut through illusion
The diamond that cuts through illusion is how this sutra is often described. Recitation accompanied my meditatins takes the practice to the heart, beyond words and beyond ideas.
sometimes it is more efficient to listen or to recite than to try and meditate. meditating in order not to meditate is entirely in accord with the method of the sutra, the method of zen.
The sources of transmission
Ram Chatlani offers a unique glimpse of One mind. He began zazen as a life support in 1980 while working in the the city of London. From 2005 he taught qigong, maditation and tai chi at the zen dojo of Lyon, until 20011. Adhering to no single tradiiton he nevertheless maintains a strong link with the source of zen and the transmisison on One mind, notably through the master TaMo.
