Interesting, amusing, sincere. Irish-American Catholic Dinty W. Moore sets out to write an article about Buddhism. To that end he meets and interviews Tibetan Buddhists, Zen Buddhists, Jewish Buddhists, Theravadan Buddhists, even a catholic monk Buddhist! He sees the humanity of the teachers and the value of their teachings, and his conversion to Buddhism is as calm and quiet as Buddhism itself. He draws parallels between his Catholic upbringing and Buddhism that I think will clarify much about both religions to his readers. Highly recommended.
