I grew up in Japan and Korea, and I was taught a different approach to evil and to good.

Evil is not permanent and Hell is not forever, nor is heaven, for it has to do with karma.

You can enter hell while visiting heaven, and you can rise up to heaven when in hell.

Your karma or actions create whom you have become.

A saint can become a devil and a demon can become a saint.

The choice is yours. Welcome to the class.

I was allowed to teach about Demons in a composition class at a university.

Students often loved my classes.

Catalog Description.

The primary purpose of this course is to help students write clear, concise, and coherent academic prose in both expository and persuasive modes. The major emphasis of the course will be in improving research and investigative skills.

Instructor: Dr. Wayne Stein, Professor

Being a professor, he teaches classes on Asian culture, world literature, and the history of rhetoric. He was awarded the DaVinci Fellow from the Oklahoma’s Creativity Think Tank (2008), the ESL Professional of the Year Award from OKTESOL (2003), the Service to the Sanga (Community) Award from the Stillwater OSU Buddhist Society (2003), and various other awards.

He has published books, chapters, and articles for newsletters, newspapers, and encyclopedias. He graduated from Oklahoma State University with his Ph.D. in English.

I grew up on the streets of Los Angeles with gangs, the homeless, pimps, and prostitutes. I shouldn’t be here. Basically, I should be dead or in prison. However, I realized that something else waited for me. I used to go to bookstores, magazine stands, and libraries.

I read a lot. Westwood Blvd by UCLA had some amazing bookstores. Or I would go to J-town, Little Toyko and buy books by Japanese writers in translation like Yukio Mishima. I used to read books in the UCLA or the public library downtown. In the summer, I would read a book a day. That saved me. Reading!

I suffer from PTSD, for I have seen things I should not have. I can’t sleep well at night. I took English classes for fun when I went to study at a university. I was close to a degree in computer science.

When they did a degree check, they noticed I was also close to a degree in English. Reading saved me. I graduated with a degree in English. No one believed in me. I did! Ghosts, fox spirits and demons stand aside.
