Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this succinct reading by Jack Hawkins, author Moore relates how persistent dissatisfaction and a hollowness in his life led him, a college writing professor, to investigate the resurgence of Buddhism (Algonquin, 1997). His self-styled American Buddhism Project led him to visit several diverse monasteries and retreats and delve into the wealth of contemporary literature. His insouciant account of these experiences makes the oftentimes impenetrable concepts of Buddhism accessible to the reader and contains striking, and important, parallels and contrasts between his own Catholic upbringing and ancient Buddhist traditions. Highly recommended.?Linda Bredengerd, Univ. of Pittsburgh Lib., Bradford, Pa.

Irish-American Catholic Dinty W. Moore tells of his conversion to Buddhism and simultaneously gives listeners a primer on what this ancient faith has to offer modern Western materialists; his personal spiritual odyssey elevates his narrative above the book's Cliff's Notes approach. Jack Hawkins's vibrant, expressive, youthful voice admirably delivers the author's text and keeps the listener interested. Whether or not he shares Moore's enthusiasm, he sounds as if he does and to it adds an inviting personality of his own. Y.R.
