The Voyage of the Kazu Maru is an enlightening story of self-discovery about a young orphaned Japanese boy who becomes a reluctant monk at an isolated mountain monastery. An opportunity arises to follow the famed running monks to their temple along the seashore far below. Once there, Ichiro is taken in by the family of a fisherman, and soon he is spending his life at sea. One fateful day a violent storm sends him out to sea. Ichiro's will, almost broken, is severely tested as he drifts along for weeks upon the vast ocean, facing dangers and delusions and each day a new menace. Finally, he lands upon a distant shore. Trekking hopelessly across a range of forest and mountains, he makes his way until suddenly, he encounters a strange group of people. Soon, he becomes part of another family and falls in love with a beautiful young woman. But tensions arise. Another suitor claims his romantic partner; those jealous of his strange talents resent his artistic skills. His unusual looks and foreign behaviours frighten others, and Ichiro realizes he will never be part of this new world. With this epiphany, he flees his rivals, locates his old fishing boat and heads out to sea. How will this voyage end?
Autorenporträt
In 1974 Linda Quiring met Sydney Banks who had just had a profound enlightenment experience which later became The Three Principles. Linda wrote Island of Knowledge, a book about her time with Syd. Republished in 2015, a now almost worldwide group of students are able to read about the early days of Sydney Banks who sadly passed away in 2009. A lifelong interest in herbs led to Saltspring Soapworks, a business making and selling herbal skincare and homemade artisan soaps. When Linda and her husband Bill retired in 2012 after 35 years, their son and his family took over the business. Linda's second book, Beyond Beliefs: The Lost Teachings of Sydney Banks, was written in the 1970's but was only published in 2016. Her third book, Encounters with an Enlightened Man, details her time with Syd, and was published in 2017. The Voyage of the Kazu Maru has been a labour of love for Linda and takes the reader on a fateful journey with a Japanese monk to the shores of the West Coast of North America.
