"I packed a blue Samsonite suitcase with my belongings -- a couple of pairs of jeans and shirts, UB40 tapes, the Swiss army knife I had stolen from my mother, my Tibetan prayer book, and a red plastic Camay soap dish I bought in Dharamsala that had become a good luck charm for me." With these, all his worldly possessions at the age of seventeen, Daja Wangchuk Meston caught an airliner to America, the unfamiliar land of which he was a citizen, and began his arduous personal journey to discover and mend his long-severed ties to his family, his country, and, in a very real sense, his own identity. In this moving memoir, the author tells the incredible story of a young man who used his Buddhist upbringing and the love of a good woman -- his young wife -- to learn that forgiving others can play a critical role in healing a damaged soul. Daja had much to forgive. In the early 1970s, at the age of three, he was taken by his hippie American parents to Nepal and left in the care of a Tibetan family. The Tibetans in turn placed him in a Buddhist monastery where, at the age of six, he was ordained to be a monk. There, in scenes reminiscent of the novels of Charles Dickens, he was ostracized by the other boy monks, who taunted him for his Caucasian physical traits, left so hungry he stole scraps of bread, and slept on a flea-infested straw mat. He was an outsider in an insular monastic world, unable to understand what had befallen him and longing for the warmth of his mother's embrace. His mother became a Buddhist nun, and caring for a child, she thought, would impede her spiritual journey. Her occasional and brief visits with young Daja became increasingly rare. As he grew up, there were often years without a single maternal visit. His father, unbeknownst to the boy, had suffered a mental breakdown and returned, helpless, to Los Angeles. The story of Daja's self-generated ouster from the monastery as an adolescent (he pretended to have slept with a prostitute), his eventual migration to his homeland, his lifelong attempt to understand and reconnect with his parents, and his eventual and dangerous work on behalf of Tibetan rights under Chinese oppression make for a compelling reading experience. But more than that, the story of Daja Meston reminds us of the universal human need for roots and family bonds. It is ultimately an unforgettable story of love, hope, and forgiveness and of a gentle man with an enormous capacity for all three.

We came up with an idea: Good versus Evil. Kenny writes the bad side, and Joel writes the good side. The poetry of this book captures and reflects simultaneously both our bad actions, which we followed and which landed us in a bad spot: prison; and our reborn actions, which we now follow after committing our lives to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This has now brought us to a good spot: good works and the ability to do them, placed in us by Jesus. In the end, we came up with Peace Comes in the Morning, but this is not just a title. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28 (ESV), "Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." In other words, PEACE stands for "patiently eliminating a care every day." This is what Jesus is saying. Give him your cares. We pray this poetry helps those who read it, and please share with your friends and family. We thank you for reading and for praying for us.

In a world plagued by the persistent echoes of violence and conflict, this profound exploration into the philosophy of Peace and pacifism emerges as a timely source of hope and transformation. In this book, the author reflects on the disheartening reality that, despite the twenty-first century's advancements, humanity continues to cling to destructive patterns. This book is a rallying cry for the resilience of the human spirit, advocating for a paradigm shift towards Peace, justice, and dialogue. It weaves together historical reflections, philosophical insights, and real-world examples to unravel the essence of pacifism - a belief that transcends the mere absence of war and envisions a world healed and intact. Through a collection of essays, quotes, speeches, and more, the author not only acknowledges the complexities of our world but also recognizes the challenges inherent in the pursuit of Peace. It is also acknowledged that there can be no external Peace if there is a lack of inner Peace within the individual. As you delve into these pages, you'll encounter the diverse tapestry of pacifist thought, from ancient philosophers to modern visionaries. The book serves as a manual for Peace, inviting introspection, dialogue, and action. It inspires a collective awakening to our potential as architects of Peace, urging us to dismantle structures perpetuating violence and fostering a shift in individual and collective consciousness. This work isn't just a dream; it's an invitation to turn dreams into reality. In a world yearning for Healing and Peace, this book extends a hand, urging us to embark on a shared journey towards a future where Peace isn't just a distant dream but a lived reality.
