Book excerpt: Realm of the Golden Dragon is a sea story. On 17 August 1967, after many years of being home ported in Hawaii, the 180-foot Coast Guard Cutter Basswood set sail for her new home port on Guam in the Marianas Islands. During her travels, she would unleash sixty fun-loving, frolicking, fornicating, fighting, young Coasties on forty-seven Pacific Islands and five Asian Nations. This epic voyage would take them to the hooker bars and short-time hotels of Olongapo in the Philippines, the Vietcong infested bays and rivers of Vietnam, and the vaunted Namenoue Red Light District in Naha, Okinawa. They would look in wonder at the temples of Bangkok, Thailand and explore the back streets of Keelung Harbor in Taiwan. Then they would sail to islands in the Pacific so remote that they have been virtually untouched by modern civilization. Travel along with these young Coast Guard Sailors as they experience the rigors of going to sea on a small ship and as they enjoy the pleasure of wild Pacific Island girls and porcelain skinned Asian beauties. And when they lose one of their own, discover the fortunes of war.

Book Synopsis Surviving the Dragon by : Arjia Rinpoche
Download or read book Surviving the Dragon written by Arjia Rinpoche and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a peaceful summer day in 1952, ten monks on horseback arrived at a traditional nomad tent in northeastern Tibet where they offered the parents of a precocious toddler their white handloomed scarves and congratulations for having given birth to a holy child—and future spiritual leader. Surviving the Dragon is the remarkable life story of Arjia Rinpoche, who was ordained as a reincarnate lama at the age of two and fled Tibet 46 years later. In his gripping memoir, Rinpoche relates the story of having been abandoned in his monastery as a young boy after witnessing the torture and arrest of his monastery family. In the years to come, Rinpoche survived under harsh Chinese rule, as he was forced into hard labor and endured continual public humiliation as part of Mao's Communist "reeducation." By turns moving, suspenseful, historical, and spiritual, Rinpoche's unique experiences provide a rare window into a tumultuous period of Chinese history and offer readers an uncommon glimpse inside a Buddhist monastery in Tibet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will only take you a few hours to read, but it could change your life forever! Throughout life, everyone faces challenges, setbacks and temporary failures. Those who learn to rise from these ashes of defeat are the ones who become truly successful. The word phoenix has three primary meanings: 1. A mythical bird of great beauty fabled to live 500 or 600 years in the Arabian wilderness, to burn itself up from its own fire, and later to rise from its ashes in the freshness of youth and live through another cycle of years: often an emblem of immortality or of reborn idealism or hope, 2. A person or thing of peerless beauty or excellence; paragon. 3. A person or thing that has become renewed or restored after suffering calamity or apparent annihilation. Using these three definitions as the driving force for The Phoenix Philosophy, Author Mikeal R. Morgan clearly articulates the proven principles that have allowed him to rise from a poor, uneducated, depressed youth, to a successful husband, father, sales professional, business leader, motivational speaker and President of Phoenix Training Innovations. Mikeal has dedicated years to observing, learning and collecting stories from other successful individuals who have also overcome tough challenges and devastating failures, in order to rise renewed by the will, faith, and strength that resides in each of us. Throughout this book, you will be forced to think and answer tough questions about yourself. Learn to improve, love, and appreciate your life. Learn to rise to success, even from the ashes of defeat, to a smarter, stronger and better you! Please also visit www.phoenixphilosophy.com for information on corporate programs that will allow your entire organization to rise to success.

The children decided to declare a war on war by creating a creature that combined the best of all the spirits and would protect all the people.
