It is often said that enlightenment means "crossing over to the other shore," that far-off place where we can at last be free from suffering. Likewise, it is said that Buddhist teachings are the raft that takes us there. In this sparkling collection from one of the most vital teachers of modern Korean Buddhism, Zen Master Daehaeng shows us that there is no raft to find and, truly, no river to cross. She extends her hand to the Western reader, beckoning each of us into the unfailing wisdom accessible right now, the enlightenment that is always, already, right here. A Zen (or seon, as Korean Zen is called) master with impeccable credentials, Daehaeng has developed a refreshing approach; No River to Cross is surprisingly personal. It's disarmingly simple, yet remarkably profound, pointing us again and again to our foundation, our "True Nature" - the perfection of things just as they are.

Here is a firsthand account of how a young black boy struggling in the cotton fields of Texas pursues his passionate love of music. How can he make his God-given dream come true in the face of racial hatred and discrimination? How can a young female African slave, brutally torn from her twin sister on the auction block, keep alive the faith to be reunited with that sister more than one hundred years later? This book is a slice of history straight from the hearts of those who lived it. It is a story that everyone needs to read. It is a story of hope and love that proves that not matter how humble the beginnings and how terrible the oppression, God can cause the best to grow out of it all. The answer is, as Granny always said to young Charles, Now listen to me, child. Stead of complaining that roses get thore, be glad that thorns got roses.

Britain's Royal Engineers have played a leading role in this crucial military operation, from the ravines behind the D-Day beaches to recent operations in Bosnia and Kosovo. The Royal Engineers have displayed incredible ingenuity in developing responses to the increasing amounts of firepower directed at bridging troops. This definitive study has been prepared with the assistance of the Royal Engineers and contains details on 170 pieces of bridging equipment, the history of all Royal Engineer assault squadrons, and accounts of all Victoria Crosses won during bridging actions.
