		Like the Yoga Sutra, the Diamond Sutra is in a sense a "medical" treatise; in this case the disease, which infects us all, is spiritual ignorance—what Patanjali calls avidya: the misidentification of our authentic nature with our limited self.
		The Diamond Sutra furnishes us with an extensive outline of and strategy for the two great "poles" of Patanjali's system, persevering discipline (abhyasa) and detachment or renunciation (vairagya), under which all his other practices are subsumed.
		The Diamond Sutra, along with Red Pine's commentary, is a precious tool that reflects the brilliance of the Buddha's teaching and enables us, if we give it the chance, to cut through what's hardest in our lives: our own self-ignorance.
