While this book is a history of the student activism of the sixties, its mode of analysis goes beyond the essential facts and events, probing underlying causes that are not peculiar to this particular unrest alone but are endemic to the rise and development of such movements in general.

Kai'Ro: The Journey of an Urban Pilgrim chronicles the epic spiritual journey of a young man named Kai’Ro. Born and raised in the City of Doom, Kai’Ro is overwhelmed with hopelessness and bondage to sin. Overcome by the burden of his own guilt and failure, he admits that his existence is full of pain and meaningless. He yearns to find a better life. Kai'Ro meets Preacher who informs him of the King who can free him from his burden and give him hope and the life he’s always been searching for. The Preacher directs him to the Heavenly Highway which he assures Kai’Ro is the path he must follow if he is to find the hope and freedom he's looking for. In search of this promised life, Kai’Ro leaves the City of Doom with his heart and mind set on this new hope. Along the way he encounters a variety of individuals, temptations and trials that seek to pull him off the Highway and ensnare him in his old life again. During his journey he discovers that wisdom is greater than treasure, a real friend is someone who directs him to the King, and that pursuing the King requires saying farewell to much of what he once loved.

This is a strange book. Make no bones about it, it's weird. What can you do? I suppose you don't have to read it. But then what would be the point of all the words sitting there if you don't even bother to read them eh? I don't know, what are you like? Thinking of jumping ship already? Lightweight. Okay. So...this book is weird, it's strange but, hopefully, it's fun! Good! Let it be so! Okie dokie then. That'll do for a prologue won't it? I don't know, do I have to say anything else? What goes into a prologue then? It's sort of the stuff before the main stuff isn't it? Um, well, er, I can't be arsed! Oh yeah...um...no... I forgot. Oh well, without further ado... hold on, I've just thought of something, yeah... SO you lot are lucky in a way, because I've read this book loooooads of times and the words by this point have kind of lost all meaning - but for you they probably still have that "new book" feeling to them. Good for you!

In his previous book, Being Upright: Zen Meditation and the Bodhisattva Precepts, Reb Anderson Roshi described how we must become thoroughly grounded in conventional truth through the practice of compassion before we can receive the teachings of the ultimate truth. In The Third Turning of the Wheel, he introduces us to the next stage of our journey by invoking the wisdom of the Samdhinirmocana Sutra. According to Anderson, the main purpose behind this enigmatic sutra is to reconcile the apparent contradictions between the original teachings of the historical Buddha and the later teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. Anderson reflects on the great metaphysical questions proposed in the Samdhinirmocana Sutra—the nature of ultimate reality, the structure of human consciousness, the characteristics of phenomena, the stages of meditation, and the essential qualities of a buddha—with the clarity of a scholar and the insight of a practitioner.

Praise God I was born and raised in a place and time which my extended family had little. There was never enough food, and clothing was sparse. I grew up without a father, though notwithstanding, having many females in the family, there were always men around. In this continual scenario, I was able to see what sin really is and how it takes advantage of the deceived, eventually taking their lives. I completed an online seminary course and improved my knowledge of God's Word. I held church services in my home weekly, for over ten years. I have led many people to Christ and counseled them concerning how the deceiver was trying to rob them. I pray that God remembers that I shared the love he shares with me.
