"This book was written by one of my beloved students, my love and blessings flow through him to those unfortunate beings who are in need of so much help and guidance at this time."- Druwang Tsori Dechen Rinpoche "An important, luminous work "-Senior Editor of Buddhist Publications "Body of Infinite Simplicity is a unique volume, and the first of its kind in contemporary Buddhist literature in that it primarily addresses the homeless practitioner. But this is certainly not the only audience for whom the work is meaningful. The wisdom presented in the verses, through Clark's natural diction, are important guides to anyone, homeless or not. Poetically contemporary, it is all the more rich in the wisdom of the Buddhadharma"-J. Briefka

POST-APOCALYPTIC SPIRITUAL POETRY INTRODUCTION: In Hinduism, cycles of time are called "Yugas". In Buddhism, they are referred to as "Kalpas". At the end of these cycles of time, great transitions take place on our planet. These transitions or "Attunements" were well-known and documented by people of various ancients cultures. Some of the wisest among these cultures, not only knew about them, but also predicted the outcome of many future "Attunements". This book is about endings becoming new beginnings...and seeing life with spiritual eyes. REVIEW: "Falling Stars Like Fireflies takes us to the very edge of the well from which inspiration springs. Take the cup. Drink deeply. Be inspired." - J. Briefka

"When a man knows his true Self for the first time something else arises from the depths of his being and takes possession of him. That something is behind the mind; it is infinite, divine, eternal...you may give it what name you wish.What exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual soul, and God are all appearances in it, like silver in mother-of-pearl; these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time." - Ramana Maharshi

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unofficial, Haunting Thought-Experiment - Bromden's Story Doesn't End at the FenceFirst and foremost: Kill The Engine: A Rough-Draft Novel is not an official sequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.It's not affiliated with Ken Kesey.It's not canon.It's something more dangerous - and maybe more necessary.It's a thought experiment.An imagined continuation of what might have happened after Bromden ran through the glass, into the night, into a world that didn't know what to do with men like him.This "rough-draft novel" is gritty, raw, and unpolished - on purpose. It follows Chief Bromden into a world that's just as crazy, just as brutal as the one he escaped. Finding work. Finding housing. Finding a way to keep breathing while the ghosts of the ward still rattle inside his head.It's not a clean, heroic return to life. It's messy. It's heartbreaking.Bromden's son comes next - fighting his own demons. Then the grandson.And when the grandson winds up back inside another asylum, staring up at the same fluorescent lights... you realize: The machine's still running.The engine was never just inside the walls of the ward.It's everywhere.Kill The Engine reads like Bromden's voice: heavy, broken in places, full of silence and flashes of poetry.You don't race through it - you drag yourself with him, chapter after chapter, through the heavy fog of memory, pain, and stubborn, impossible hope.This isn't a feel-good book.This is a feel-everything book.If you ever wondered what happens after the last page of Cuckoo's Nest - this imagined journey feels honest enough to hurt, real enough to matter.Brutal. Beautiful. Necessary.But remember: this is a tribute, a what-if, not an official continuation.It's a rough draft of the American nightmare we're still trying to wake up from.

In "A Liberating Hell", the reader returns to Dante's Inferno, but this time with Amida-Buddha as their Merciful Guide.This work is "A Symbolic-Map through The Dark Night of the Soul". That through the reading and with the help of Amitabha Buddha, we too might be 'Liberated' from our own private Hells.By seeing our own fear, regret, depression, hopelessness, prejudices, and limited world-view in the characters within, we may more easily come to understand...that it need not be this way.The reader joins Dante and Amida-Buddha as they set free all those that have been tormented in Hell. These captives can now move on to the Buddhist Pure Land of Bliss where they will become future Buddhas.May all Being benefit. Namaste.
