Description
The westernized pursuit of status and wealth or the four noble truths of Buddhism – given a choice (and none of us are of course) what would you rather be doing with your life?
Hun Sen is from a small village in Cambodia, bought up with Buddhist monks into the desperately horrifying Khmer Rouge period. Roger is from Surrey, England, the son of a City of London financier. He eventually finds a form of contentedness at the local sailing club.
One grows up to be a successful industrialist, the faceless name behind countless household products from rotary salad tossers to uniquely ingenious sex toys. The other gains control of a multi-million pound financial institution and manages to buy several large cars and a yacht.
Uncle Vern is the shadowy middle-man, big in Far East import/export with an unhealthy interest in recreational pain and humiliation. He is the unwitting catalyst who brings the two companies into a win or lose everything situation.
The story of the two men’s lives exemplify the contrast between a typical Western culture of relentless advancement and a culture where money and possessions have no significant meaning where joy and inner-peace transcend desire.
Only a fated meeting will resolve the differences between the two men, or will it?
This book tells their story.
