 | | The Buddhist sutra ("thread") is no different from its Hindu counterpart, which we're familiar with from books like the Yoga Sutra and the Shiva Sutra. | | | Like the other sutra books in the Prajnaparamita, the Diamond Sutra is an eyewitness account of one of the Buddha's teachings. | | | 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. |

| | The Trimurti or Hindu triad of gods: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. | | | Brahma combines with Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer of evil, to make up the Trimurti, the three aspects of Brahman, the supreme being, acting in the world. | | | These were fervent Brahmins, the bitterest foes of Buddhism, their deities being Vishnu, the solar god, Shiva, the divine impersonation of natural forces, and Brahma, the supreme ruler of priests and legislators. |

| | Shiva - The Sensuous Yogi |
| | The vehicle of Shiva is a bull (vrishabh or vrisha in Sanskrit). | | | Although both Shiva and his goddess Shakti are creator deities, the true scope of their union is not procreation, but pleasure and voluptuousness (ananda). | | | The bull of Shiva is hence also called the joyful (Nandi), correspondingly Shiva himself is known as the lord of joy (Nandikeshvara). |
