Review Eric Van Lustbader & Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Legacy

 

Warning: This review has spoilers. To begin with, the best thing about the novel is that it is written using everyday English and a clear description of the different places where the adventure happens; from famous landmarks to local cuisine and traditions. Jason Bourne is haunted by a crime he didn’t commit along with having to discover his lost Thai son Khan. Therefore, Khan, similar to his father, has become a professional killer and survived alone in the horrors of Southeast Asia. His name, different from his original one Joshua, is the same as the wild tiger Shere Khan from the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Moving on, while Bourne tries to find out who is the real killer of his old friends, Alex and Doctor Mo, he meets Annaka. She is a femme fatale who only seeks power to end up in a trap by the real villain: A terrorist named Stepan Spalko.

Here is where the Bourne Legacy is so familiar with the blockbuster James Bond movies. Spalko is the perfect evil mastermind who uses everyone for his own benefit. This can be seen with the manipulation of Islamic terrorists such as Zina and her soulmate Arsenov. Both Annaka and Zina, who seek power and freedom, end up meeting their own doom. Still, Zina is not pure evil but rather someone who regretted her evil path. In a way, thanks to the Muslim Zina, Khan was saved from revenge. He decided to help his lost father Jason Bourne to capture and eliminate Spalko.

To sum up, the novel has lots of action and it feels like you are traveling together with Jason Bourne and Khan to discover places like Budapest, Thailand, France and Iceland. Hopefully, in the future there will be a movie adaptation of this last adventure which humanizes Jason Bourne as a father rather than just the agent to save the day. In this illustration with AI Craiyon, I imagined the main characters like animal spirits surviving in a wild world.

Nichiren Shoshu: Ceremonies for the Ancestors

Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism has four debts of gratitude one of which is to one's parents and ancestors.

Two main ceremonies are an essential offering for our deceased and ancestors. The main offering is a Toba, memorial tablet, that contains the five elements. A passage from the Gosho “The Teaching Affirmed by All Buddhas of the Three Existences” (“Sokanmon-sho”) reads:

The five elements are earth, water, fire, wind and space….These are, in other words, the five characters of Myoho-Renge-Kyo. (Gosho, p. 1418)

The Higan-e Ceremony (Spring and Autumn)

March 21 and September 22, the days of the equinoxes. It has an equal duration between day (light) and night (darkness). Help the ancestors to arrive on the other shore with the great ship (faith in the Dai-Gohonzon).

The Urabon Ceremony (July 15 and August 15)

A time to pray for the peace and happiness of the deceased family and ancestors. It is based on the legend of Mokuren who achieved to save his deceased mother. In the Urabon Gosho, Nichiren Daishonin writes: Maudgalyayana's deceased parents live on in him. When Maudgalyayana's life attains Buddhahood, so will the lives of his parents. (Shinpen, p. 1376)
