It has taken several YEARS to get to this point, but hopefully it should not take too much longer. We've asked for assistance from other sources, but were rejected because of, IMO, a lack of knowledge about what chaplaincy entails. This little book isn't intended to take the place of an ordained priest or monk, or to endorse wars. It's simply to provide assistance to Buddhists (or the curious) who are already enlisted in the Armed Forces. For those of you who've ever seen the inside of a Chaplain's Office, there are lots of religious materials available, but nothing or very little on Buddhism. At most there might be a "Teaching of Buddha" available. This book can be an additional resource to that.Jeanette Yuinen Shinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712459960189461740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284690686321744854.post-15573022546647749522010-09-21T04:49:34.116-07:002010-09-21T04:49:34.116-07:00Thank you for the heads up :) Is there a title yet...Thank you for the heads up :) Is there a title yet, or anticipated completion date?Scott Xian-Liaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880387751785757564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284690686321744854.post-40768698634142066432010-09-20T12:36:42.969-07:002010-09-20T12:36:42.969-07:00Perhaps a chapter devoted to certain practices and...Perhaps a chapter devoted to certain practices and meditations that can be done outside of regular services? For example, zazen instruction could potentially be very helpful for service members no matter where they are or what they are doing on a daily basis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040814617282167304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284690686321744854.post-11546932365506046152010-09-19T17:32:31.277-07:002010-09-19T17:32:31.277-07:00I think it is wonderful.
