FAR EAST
1927-1929From a Wild West to an Inscrutable EastBetween 1927 and 1929, Ron twice journeyed to Asia and there witnessed wonders few westerners dreamed possible. Indeed, when later asked what it was he learned in the East, he succinctly replied: “I learned enough to know that Man did not know everything there was to know about life.”

There are only two tests of a life well lived, L. Ron Hubbard once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his life’s work, including the more than ten thousand authored works and three thousand tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology. In evidence of the second are the hundreds of millions whose lives have been demonstrably bettered because he lived. They are the generations of students now reading superlatively, owing to L. Ron Hubbard’s educational discoveries; they are the millions more freed from the lure of substance abuse through L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in drug rehabilitation; still more touched by his common sense moral code; and many millions more again who hold his work as the spiritual cornerstone of their lives.
