The Light of Asia
The Light of Asia was published in 1879. The book is renowned as a classic and has been published in various editions and different languages. In this poetic masterpiece, Sir Edwin Arnold tells the life and lessons of Buddha. The man who was to become known as Buddha to the world was born Prince Gautama of India. However, he rejected the wealthy and lavish lifestyle and abandoned all the powers he had gotten when he began his journey to find the importance of life. This poem uncovers Buddha’s life according to the Buddhist point of view, so you don’t need to be a Buddhist to see the value in this wonderful work. As soon as you read about Buddha, you will start discovering your own life. Not just the philosophical part, but because of its poetic form, the story of the dramatic incidents in Buddha’s life is delightful to read.Read more

Jaida James, a high school senior, barely scrapes by in her history class. It’s not that she harbors any dislike for the subject; it’s just that the stories of the past don’t captivate her interest.

We have a perfect example and many great examples who followed perfection from Heaven. So I have wondered why there are still people in society who don’t matter. Why aren’t we lifting up those who need it most? Why aren’t calling out racism everywhere and advocating for those who don’t matter? I see many of the youth in the Wards aiming for change and a better world. These loafers on the ground make the future look brighter. We just need to always aim for the infinite brightness we follow.Read more

Douglas Adams’s Starship Titanic: From the minds Behind The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Monty Python
From the minds of Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and Terry Jones (Monty Python) comes Starship Titanic, the hilarious novelization of the third-best adventure game of 1999.
Welcome on board the Starship Titanic.
The Ship that Cannot Possibly Go Wrong.At the centre of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions: the launch of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced spaceship ever built – the Starship Titanic.
An Earthling would see the ship as something really, really big, but rather less provincial onlookers would recognize it as the design of Leovinus, the galaxy’s most renowned architect. Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren’t right: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, robots walking into doors. How could this have happened?
The following morning, while the galaxy’s media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure). In just ten seconds, the whole stupendous enterprise is over. And our story has just begun . . .
