Pamela S. (aliadam) reviewed Why the Chicken Crossed the Road: Other Hidden Enlightenment Teachings from the Buddha to Bebop to Mother Goose on + 10 more book reviews
The great spiritual truths are right under your nose-in the songs, jokes, proverbs, and nursery rhymes you've known all your life. Christ and the Buddha, Sluyter shows us, bring the same good news of cosmic liberation, and so do the Monkees and the Rolling Stones, Bugs Bunny and Alfred E. Neuman. Along the way, Sluyter tells lively stories that incorporate basketball and Sufi dancing, cowboy movies and Sabbath mysticism, bebop saxaphone exercises--some traditional, some home-brewerd--he shows how to apply these enlightenment teachings in our own lives.
