Why the Chicken Crossed the Road: & Other Hidden Enlightenment Teachings from the Buddha to Bebop to Mother Goose
- Used Book in Good Condition
You're invited to join in the seriously playful adventure of "digging the cosmic ordinary"-exploring our own cultural backyard to discover the profound enlightenment teachings hidden there in plain sight. In thirty-three illustrated mini-chapters, meditation teacher Dean Sluyter reveals the startling, sometimes hilarious connections between the highest revelations and the lowliest jingles, jokes, and cliches: *"Knock-Knock, Who's There?" teaches the same process of radical self-inquiry advocated by Hindu masters;
*"Mary Had a Little Lamb" expounds the way of love and devotion as eloquently as the Gospels;
*"Home on the Range" celebrates the anarchic freedom of enlightenment; and
*"Easy Does It," a principle as precise as E=mc2, describes both the workings of the universe and the mechanics of meditation. The author shows us that Christ and Buddha bring the same good news of cosmic liberation-and so do B. B. King, Mother Goose, Mick Jagger, and Alfred E. Neuman. And he shares spiritual exercises (some traditional, some home-brewed) that are powerfully transformative.
