About this product
Product Information
HOW THE LITERATURE WE LOVE CONVEYS THE AWAKENING WE SEEK Suppose we could read Hemingway as haiku . . . learn mindfulness from Virginia Woolf and liberation from Frederick Douglass . . . see Dickinson and Whitman as buddhas of poetry, and Huck Finn and Gatsby as seekers of the infinite . . . discover enlightenment teachings in Macbeth, The Catcher in the Rye, Moby-Dick, and The Bluest Eye. Some of us were lucky enough to have one passionate, funny, inspiring English teacher who helped us fall in love with books. Add a lifetime of teaching Dharma -- authentic, traditional approaches to meditation and awakening -- and you get award-winning author Dean Sluyter. With droll humor and irreverent wisdom, he unpacks the Dharma of more than twenty major writers, from William Blake to Dr. Seuss, inspiring readers to deepen their own spiritual life and see literature in a fresh, new way: as a path of awakening.

Reviews
"This book is Dead Poets Society meets the Buddha. Dean Sluyter has a miner's gift for extracting nuggets of wisdom that no one else sees. I have no doubt that Blake, Salinger, Dickinson, and the rest of Sluyter's all-star authors would be delighted to have their work appreciated from this deep level of enlightened insight -- and joy." -- Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda and Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times "With a knack for creative genius, Dean is a wonderful source of real-life, useful, news-you-can-use information. Dean is a Buddha -- a poet and a teacher." -- Dr. Mehmet Oz, Oprah & Friends Radio "Dean Sluyter is in the grand tradition of authors who interpret traditional enlightenment teachings and apply them to modern Western life. He accomplishes that task with a rare combination of insight, clarity, wit, and pragmatic common sense.... Sluyter knows as much about clear, concise, captivating prose as he does about the nuances of meditation." -- LA Yoga, "Dean Sluyter is in the grand tradition of authors who interpret traditional enlightenment teachings and apply them to modern Western life. In Natural Meditation, he accomplishes that task with a rare combination of insight, clarity, wit, and pragmatic common sense. ... Sluyter knows as much about clear, concise, captivating prose as he does about the nuances of meditation." -- L.A. Yoga "[The Zen Commandments] is extremely well written and joyously entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly "You're not in for one hand clapping. Rather, it's both hands clapping for joy in The Zen Commandments." -- New York Times "Equal parts inspiring, quirky, fascinating, and fun, Cinema Nirvana will make you look at film and faith in a new light." -- Dallas Morning News "With a knack for creative genius, Dean is a wonderful source of real-life, useful, news-you-can-use information. Dean is a buddha ... a poet and a teacher." -- Dr. Mehmet Oz, Oprah & Friends Radio, "This book is Dead Poets Society meets the Buddha.
