Join Buddhist prison chaplain and
author Dean Sluyter for this meditation and discussion.
What is distraction really? Do our usual notions of distraction,
and our ways of dealing with it, help or hinder our meditation?
And could cutting through those notions expand our ability to
experience love and appreciation?
Dean Sluyter (rhymes with "lighter")
has taught natural meditation throughout the U.S. since 1970.
He leads the Dzogchen Center's New Jersey practice group and is
a Buddhist prison chaplain for the New Jersey Department of Corrections.
Dean teaches at The Pingry School, where, as the developer of
the Literature of Enlightenment program, he is a leading innovator
in the use of meditative techniques in education. He is a film
critic for Tricycle: The Buddhist Review and the author of three
books, the most recent being Cinema Nirvana: Enlightenment Lessons
from the Movies. Dean has given talks and workshops throughout
the U.S. at such venues as the Chautauqua Institution and New
York Open Center and has spoken at a number of colleges, including
Columbia, Rutgers, Wesleyan, and the University of Pennsylvania.
He has appeared in various media, including Oprah & Friends
Radio and National Public Radio. His work has been featured in
The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly, which called
his writing "joyously entertaining."
