About the Author:
GESHE MICHAEL ROACH is an honors graduate of Princeton University and has received the Presidential Scholar Medallion from the President of the United States at the White House. He is the first westerner in the 600-year history of Sera Mey Tibetan Monastic University to be awarded the degree of Geshe, or “Master of Philosophy.” Michael is the founder of the Asian Classics Input Project, which has digitally preserved thousands of ancient Asian books by training and equipping poor people in many countries during the past 30 years. To pay for this work he helped found Andin International Diamond Corporation of New York, which reached US$250 million in sales and was sold to superinvestor Warren Buffett in 2009. The Diamond Cutter, his international business bestseller, tells the story of how he used ancient Asian principles for success; and he has founded the Diamond Cutter Management Training Institute for spreading this message to over 20,000 people each year, in more than 20 countries of the world. DR ERIC WU was born in China and graduated in both western and traditional Chinese medicine. He then worked in the Chinese national banking system, before founding his own management training company, called Guang Yao (“Light on Life”) Cultural & Educational Institute, of Beijing and Xi’an, China. This firm seeks to extract the essence of Chinese traditional culture and to bring it to the modern world, based on a concept Dr Wu calls “The Power of Seeds.” This system has proven very effective in increasing business profitability and sustainable corporate development; and has been applied as well in the fields of addiction treatment; youth education; and the enhancement of the quality of life for senior citizens. In recent years, Eric has also founded advanced medical research facilities which are making significant progress in finding cures for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. He is a popular speaker worldwide, and has developed innovative educational programs for children throughout China. Eric has a deep interest in the preservation of Chinese traditional culture, and through his Golden Silk Road Foundation has sponsored many projects such as the Silk Road Classics Online Library, which offers thousands of manuscripts from the languages of the ancient silk road, free of charge.
