In 1974 Linda Quiring met Sydney Banks who had just had a profound enlightenment experience which later became The Three Principles. Linda wrote Island of Knowledge , a book about her time with Syd. Republished in 2015, a now almost worldwide group of students are able to read about the early days of Sydney Banks who sadly passed away in 2009. A lifelong interest in herbs led to Saltspring Soapworks, a business making and selling herbal skincare and homemade artisan soaps. When Linda and her husband Bill retired in 2012 after 35 years, their son and his family took over the business. Linda's second book, Beyond Beliefs: The Lost Teachings of Sydney Banks , was written in the 1970's but was only published in 2016. Her third book, Encounters with an Enlightened Man , details her time with Syd, and was published in 2017. The Voyage of the Kazu Maru has been a labour of love for Linda and takes the reader on a fateful journey with a Japanese monk to the shores of the West Coast of North America. See less
