THE BUDDHA AND THE BADGE reveals what it is like to grow up as a
contemplative, spiritually aware Buddhist in a culture dominated by
Christianity. The story begins with the birth of the author,
Michael Jaquish in 1948 and flows through his teen years as his
family bounces from town to town and state to state. In 1968
Michael is called to military service at the height of the Viet Nam
war and the event forces him to examine his commitment to the
non-violent teachings of Jesus, Gandhi and The Buddha that he was
raised to respect. That confrontation opens a door that ignites a
dedication to pacifism and compassion for all beings. However, his
life takes an unexpected turn in 1975 when he finds himself
suddenly propelled into a career as a police officer. Will his new
job challenge his commitment to his spiritual path, or will it open
opportunities for compassion and service? NOTE: This book is the
'prequel' to BEYOND COURAGE (Tales of a Country Cop in Africa). A
Country Cop Books publication.
