The Diamond Cutter: The Buddha on Strategies for Managing Your Business and Your Life

I'm re-reading this wonderful book by geshe-la these days and just came across this wonderful business wheel of sharp weapons. Thought I'd put it online:

1) In order to see yourself do well in business and prosper financially, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by maintaining a generous state of mind.

2) In order to see yourself in a world which is just generally a very happy place, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by maintaining a very ethical way of life.

3) In order to see yourself physically healthy and attractive, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by refusing to get angry.

4) In order to see yourself as a leader in both your personal life and in business, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by taking joy in constructive and helpful actions.

5) In order to see yourself able to focus your mind steadily, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by practicing deep states of concentration or meditation.

6) In order to see yourself freed from a world where things don't work the way you want them to, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by learning the principles of hidden potential and mental imprints.

7) In order to see yourself get all you ever wished for, and see others get all they wished for as well, plant imprints for this in your subconscious by cultivating an attitude of compassion towards others.

These are of course, just the results of practicing the great perfections. For a more exhaustive list read the Diamond Cutter.
