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

imagined. Will you be able to tell which is which? A Country Cop

"We are here to understand why we make the choices we make." What
does it mean to be human? How can we learn to recognize and
vanquish our ego and release our compassionate spiritual essence?
This book poses questions and suggests answers while examining how
human beings are capable of genocide on one hand and godlike
compassion on the other. Growing numbers of human beings believe we
have the potential to evolve in spiritual awareness as a species
and produce a more compassionate world. Only time will tell but
'time' may be running out. One thing is certain however, positive
change will not happen without knowledge, effort and vision.
Ignoring the horrors of 'humanity-defining' moments like war and
genocide reinforces negative historical patterns of behavior that
are growing in number and ferocity. We can create a new reality to
make a difference but we need the tools to do so. This book
utilizes traditional Buddhist philosophy and other perspectives to
create a toolbox for self-realization and positive change.A Country
Cop Books publication.
What do you say when your child asks you, "where do we come from?"
Many Americans respond with the Biblical story of creation but this
is not the case in other countries. Religion is an important part
of our culture and history but more truth about our natural world
is being revealed every day. This is the story of our universe and
the journey that humanity is making through it. The discussion is
presented in a manner that young people can understand and
particular attention is given to the difference between "belief"
and "knowledge." It touches briefly on speculation about the
existence of the soul and how various cultures deal with that issue
but the primary intent is to provide facts based upon what we
actually 'know' about our universe. This is a straightforward
discussion for parents and young people who value truth over belief
and fact over mythology. If that describes you, then you are likely
to embrace the information with relief and wonder why it took so
long for someone to address this controversial topic so directly.A
Country Cop Books publication.

If you have heard of Buddhism but just never knew for sure what it
is all about, then you will find the answers to your questions
here. A Country Cop Books publication.
