Brian Ruhe has been a Buddhist since 1991, was a monk in Thailand and has taught Theravada Buddhism and meditation to over 15,000 people in Adult Ed courses at Capilano University, the Vancouver School Board and meditation retreats in the Vancouver, Canada area for 20 years. He follows the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah and has thousands of videos online. This book is not written to reinvent the wheel and offer up "just another introduction to Buddhism." It has a fresh approach which stirs up dust in areas that most people haven't even thought of. There are Buddhist teachers who would discuss things privately such as Buddhist views on, how Adolf Hitler harnessed the higher realms, UFOs, Jesus and how Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism contradict the Buddha but they would not give public talks or publish books on such controversial subjects. Brian Ruhe has done just that. "This book is writing that wakes us up. Brian has a hawkish intelligence full of fiery stir-up-the-pot, in your face, piss and vinegar chutzpah. And in a religion as ancient as Buddhism, such edginess is a welcome breath of fresh air " - From the Foreword by Teertha Mistlberger, Shamballa Trainings
