Adi Da’s Renderings bring these traditional Buddhist texts to life in a unique manner. As He speaks these ancient gems of instruction, the truth of each text comes through and penetrates the heart. While listening, you might feel that you are now not only in the room with Adi Da Samraj, but also with the Buddhist Sages Gotama Sakyamuni and Nagarjuna!

Adi Da also speaks at length about the history of Advaitism and Buddhism, clarifying that the Truth each of these traditions proclaim is the same Truth—the Truth of Reality Itself. He says, “As I have presented these texts to you, they speak in a manner that shows the utter compatibility of the two traditions, of Buddhism and Advaitism. And there is not the slightest “difference” between the Truth one is proclaiming and the Truth the other is proclaiming. Not the slightest. Nonetheless, these traditions speak within the mode of the developmental stages of life. . . . There is a Completing Utterance to be made and that is the Nature of My Teaching.”

Adi Da Samraj also makes clear that the true meaning of these texts is diminished when translated by someone who has not Realized the Truth of the text. In making these Renderings He has worked to speak these traditional texts plainly, as One who has Realized the Truth of the text, such that their unique power of Illumination can be received.

At the end of the Discourse, Adi Da calls all to become sensitized to the terrible effects of egoity—on the individual and the global scale. Many of those who were with Him on that rainy day left feeling their absolute need for Realization—for which Adi Da Offers Means, Blessing, and Compassionate Help. He said, “Your whatever-degree of seriousness is what is bringing you to Me now and that is the basis for the “Bond” you make with Me, wherein the relationship to Me can work for the sake of your Awakening. And I am here always to increase that seriousness in you, that urgency in you.”

A Guide to the 3-CD Set:

Disk One consists of two Renderings by Avatar Adi Da:

1) “There Is A Non-Conditional Condition To Be Realized: The Reality-Teachings of The Buddhist Sage Gotama Sakyamuni"
2) “The Transcendental Truth of Reality: The Reality-Teachings of The Buddhist Sage Nagarjuna"

Discs Two and Three contain the Discourse Avatar Adi Da Samraj gave to His devotees directly after He had first recited His Renderings of the Reality-Teachings of Gotama Sakyamuni and Nagarjuna. This Discourse, entitled “The Book of The Gnosticon”, is Part Seven of The Gnosticon.

During His Discourse, Adi Da makes the startling Revelation that there is absolutely no difference between the Reality-Truths attributed to these two Buddhist Sages and the Reality-Truths attested to by the great Sages in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, such as Sri Shankara:

In Truth, there is no conflict between true Buddhism and true Advaitism. There is no conflict whatsoever. There are different languages and terminologies and whatnot. But you could see, by listening to My Renderings of the Teachings that I have presented in the form of these texts, that they are speaking in common and in the same "room", and there is no basis for a conflict between them.
