"Thus, whether one leads a spiritual life depends on whether one has been successful in bringing about that disciplined, tamed state of mind and translating that state of mind into one's daily actions."
Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness.
The Accidental Buddhist: Mindfulness, Enlightenment, and Sitting Still, American Style by Dinty Moore
Main Street Books
224 pages
Approximate Price: $10.36
To write The Accidental Buddhist, Dinty Moore went on a journey to chart the geography of American Buddhism, from an Indiana auditorium filled with admirers of the Dalai Lama, to a Tibetan Freedom concert with the Beastie Boys, to Change Your Mind Day in Central Park. Though aspects of his Catholic upbringing had made him skeptical of abstract concepts and religious jargon, what he found on his journey profoundly changed his life. Dinty Moore's writing is sincere and filled with good-humor as he cuts through the superficial aspects of American Buddhism and comes to terms with his own religious feelings.
