The Diamond Sutra is considered a most significant contributor to the Mahayana Buddhist tradition, being the report of an extensive discourse between the Buddha and a senior disciple, Subhuti. The date of the original Sutra's Sanskrit composition is lost in time, but the earliest Chinese translations, upon which this interpretation is based, date from the early 5th Century. The author's introduction and the ancient text are accompanied by numerous footnotes, providing valuable insights into many of Buddhism's most beguiling aspects

The cataclysmic forces that in 1944 drove young Juris and his immediate family from their Latvian homeland, coincided with the widespread destruction and reshaping of virtually the entire European geopolitical landscape. This account is a glimpse of those calamitous events as they impacted the life of one small boy from Riga. The work 'Displaced' recounts George's rise over his lifetime from desperate Latvian child refugee to graduate engineer, Australian military officer, international business advisor and ultimately the Honorary Latvian Consul for Queensland Australia. Some aspects of the subject's real-life memories and opinions may be disturbing to certain individuals; reader discretion is advised.
