Description
Book Synopsis
Movie fans and spiritual seekers, unite! In Cinema Nirvana, meditation teacher and award-winning film critic Dean Sluyter illuminates the hidden enlightenment teachings of Casablanca, Jaws, The Graduate, The Godfather, Memento, and ten other classic films, revealing spiritual wisdom in everything from 007's secret weapons to the colors of the Seven Dwarfs' eyes. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and prepare to have your mind opened. Cinema Nirvana is a funny but wise, practical but wildly entertaining guide to finding enlightenment--one movie at a time.Review Quotes
"Dean Sluyter has one of the freshest voices in spiritual writing today. From the common ore of pop culture, he extracts the gleaming diamonds of dharma-wisdom." --Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within "If you spliced together DNA from Quentin Tarantino and the Dalai Lama, you'd get Dean Sluyter and he'd write this amazing book." --Michael Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci "Entertaining and thoughtful in turn, Cinema Nirvana compels you to watch the movies in the way a buddha might see them." --Stephen Batchelor, author of Living with the Devil "Sluyter is the movie guru I have longed for. Virtually every page contains jaw-dropping insights and laugh-out-loud surprises." --Lama John Makransky, Professor of Buddhism and Comparative Theology, Boston College
