This book, first published in 1912, is an English translation of The Diamond Sutra from the Chinese text of Kumarajiva, one of the most metaphysical of the works ascribed to Buddha. With parallel passages and numerous annotations, this is a classic translation of the one of the most important texts in Chinese Buddhism.

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.
