Dean Sluyter and I Discuss How to See the Dharma in Western Literary Classics and …

  • His book, The Dharma Bums Guide to Western Literature: Finding Nirvana in the Classics
  • The role (or lack thereof) of efforting in meditation
  • The difference between awareness and mind
  • What it means to “relax your grip” or “let it be” during meditation
  • The Dharma and the Infinite in The Cat and the Hat
  • That dualism is the way the world appears to us when viewed through the thinking mind
  • How to find the fragrant emptiness at the core of our minds, beyond all thoughts
  • That only the infinite can give us infinite joy, in the finite world – having can’t match our yearning.
  • The nature of desire is that it replicates itself
  • Kindness in Huckleberry Finn
  • That the kingdom of heaven is spread upon the earth, within and all around us
