The Pure in Heart
"This document by Jimmy Seow is an essential first step for anyone wishing to trace the history of Bahá'í teaching of the Chinese in the Far East. It exhaustively catalogues the growth of the Faith in the scattered outposts where courageous early believers carried the Words of Bahá'u'lláh. Although I have lived in Asia for twenty years, it was from The Pure in Heart that I learned of Haji Mirza Muhammad - Ali, the first Bahá'í to live in China (1862-1868), of Dr Y.S. Tsao, the Bahá'í President of Xinhua University in Beijing, and of Chan S. Liu, the first translator into Chinese of the Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh. These and other names are reassuring to me in what often feels a lonely journey towards a new World Order which will include 'the simple-hearted and truth-seeing Chinese'." Michael Bond
Wisdom Man
Life should be looked upon as a sacred thing, to be handled carefully. If something terrible happens, you stop for a while and have a think, and then you work around the next big problem coming up. Like water around a rock. And you still help people when you can, even your worst enemy. Some lives, like that of Banjo Clarke, are so special they touch countless others without trying. Banjo was born in the early 1920s in the Framlingham Forest near Warrnambool, Victoria, and by the time he passed away he was known and loved by thousands for his wisdom and kindness. He carried a swag during the Great Depression, fought with Jimmy Sharman's famous boxing troupe, built roads for the army in World War II, and had 67 great-grandchildren. Despite the great hardships he faced in his life, Banjo was renowned for espousing love and forgiveness, sustained by his deep connection to his land, his ancient culture and its spiritual beliefs. His conviction that these could prove the saving of the world was his motivation for telling his story.
