Jesus & Buddha
by
"Jesus and Buddha" uncovers the strange and unexplained parallels among Jesus's sermons, Buddha's sayings, and the teachings of Zen Buddhist masters.

Lovingkindness

The Accidental Buddhist: Mindfulness, Enlightenment, and Sitting Still, American Style
Moore, Dinty W
New York: Main Street Books, 1999. 208 Pages. Both the culturally curious and the maturing Buddhist will welcome this book. Originally setting out to do some George Plimptonesque reporting-meeting with the odd and the holy and coming back with the story of how Americans are turning to Buddhist meditation --- Moore never expected that what he found would change his life. After all, Moore prides himself on being a skeptic, a commonsensical outsider, Iike the stage manager poking his head in around the set of Our Town . Here, Moore shows us the geography of Buddhism, American style, Covering a lot of ground on his journey, he describes such events as an Indiana auditorium filled with starry-eyed Dalai Lama admirers, a Tibetan Freedom concert with the Beastie Boys, and Change Your Mind Day, a Buddhist Woodstock in Central Park. Cutting through religious jargon and abstract concepts, Moore explains in clear terms why Buddhism is becoming part of popular culture. He has the rare ability to be at once sincere about religion and good-humored about the human condition. The Accidental Buddhist never takes itself too seriously --- which, as Moore discovers, Buddhists aren't supposed to do, even when they are mindful, enlightened, and sitting perfectly still. . Fifth Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/2" X 8". ( more information)
