Derek has returned to Thailand to finalize a divorce from his Thai wife. She takes him to a police station instead, where she has bribed officers to put him in jail for 20 years. He tries to call for help and is beaten and severely injured. He is placed in a prison outside Bangkok. Derek tries to find the benefit in every situation, and sees an opportunity to grow spiritually from this adversity. Each day he recalls what he knows about one of the paramitas (virtues) of the Bodhisattva Path. He tries to put them into action, even within the confines of prison life. A friend from America, a neighbor from Thailand, and US Embassy staff all try to locate the missing American. These spiritual teachings are useful to any who follow them. Walking Buddha's Path is an introduction to a way of being that permeates everyday life and fills it with spiritual energy and delight. One need not be Buddhist to understand and benefit from this approach to life. These virtues help all who use them.

We Are All On Flight 93

By: Derek Joe Tennant

We are prisoners, trapped in a dominant, racist culture. We don't know that outside life is different: loving, cooperative, with enough for everyone. Remaining within this culture, we are less than whole ourselves. It's a lie that model prisoners escape. Note: everything you have done to save the world has failed. Meanwhile every 28 hours another black man is gunned down by *authorities*. We talk about gun control but don't teach conflict resolution, take guns away from police, or solve problems of race and class. Just *recycling* or driving an electric car is not enough. It is hard, actively seeking ways to monkey wrench us into collapse while we still have life, resources, and energy to rebuild with. It is critical that we address our spiritual life. What if every moment were a meditation, every act a blessing? I know what it feels like to give up my struggle and acknowledge that someone I dearly love has died, and that I failed to save them. I will not give up again.
