A handsome, successful young man who has it all is driven to boredom by the lack of challenge his life poses. Meanwhile, an elderly, homely, so-called monk, stumbles through his predictable routines. The two don't know that they are on a collision course brought about by an off-hand suggestion from an uninspired sage who's losing interest in his role as guru. Unexpected things happen as the reels of the cosmic slot machine are set to rolling in this global casino we all must inhabit.

This short booklet is a planned addition to an updated version of the book now called "The Third Diamond." And that book is a planned addition to the 2022 or 2023 release of "The Triple Diamond Sutra." The epigraphs at the end of this book are also scheduled to be a part of a 2023 release of "The Scroll of Hi Nu." Because the larger version of "The Triple Diamond Sutra" is such a large project, I am releasing portions of it as separate books so as to keep making new material, or revised material, available to readers as there is yet to be certainty about the release date of the larger project.
