William Simpson

The Buddhist Praying Wheel by William Simpson is a comprehensive guide to the history, symbolism, and use of the traditional Tibetan prayer wheel. The book begins with an introduction to the origins and evolution of the prayer wheel, tracing its roots to ancient India and its spread throughout the Himalayan region. It then delves into the significance of the various symbols and mantras inscribed on the wheel, and the spiritual benefits that can be gained through its use. The author also provides practical instructions on how to use the prayer wheel, including proper technique, common mistakes to avoid, and tips for maximizing its effectiveness. In addition, the book features a collection of prayers and mantras that can be recited while using the wheel, along with translations and explanations of their meanings. Throughout the book, Simpson draws on his extensive experience as a practitioner and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism to provide a clear and accessible introduction to this powerful spiritual practice. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your journey on the Buddhist path, The Buddhist Praying Wheel is an invaluable resource for deepening your understanding and practice of this ancient tradition.

For the last two and a half decades--through war, oil crises, and global terrorism--the United States and Saudi Arabia have had a very special relationship, thanks in no small part to one man: Prince Bandar bin Sultan. The illegitimate son of a Saudi prince and a servant girl, he used his vital behind-the-scenes influence to convince Gorbachev to withdraw the Soviet military from Afghanistan and helped President Reagan and CIA Director William Casey to win the Cold War with Saudi petrodollars. A Machiavellian manipulator, he negotiated an end to the Iran-Iraq war and played a key role in the Iran-Contra affair. George H. W. Bush took Bandar and his family fishing. Colin Powell would drop by to play racquetball. In this revealing biography, William Simpson pulls back the curtain on the fascinating and startling life of an extraordinary power-player who emerged as one of the driving forces behind American foreign policy throughout the 1980s and '90s. At a time when understanding our friends is as important as knowing our enemies, understanding Prince Bandar bin Sultan may well be the key to figuring out the Saudis.
