It has historical implications and references as it is on one hand a biography of my teacher as he devoted himself to both introducing his teacher as well as several other contemporary teachers to this country, America, and beyond, to include many other places. His name is Reverend Gyoko Saito, upon which this book is dedicated. Also included are some of my articles, photo's, illustrations, and commentaries as well. I hope that through this book you will be on a path towards being a truly awakened person, as this is my real wish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Adams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088997224688,"sku":"9780692615966","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692615966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
