In our first interview of TSTB's third year, we return to the writer who got us started -- the wonderfully engaging author, meditation teacher, and dharma storyteller Dean Sluyter. In his latest book, "The Dharma Bum's Guide to Western Literature," Sluyter draws on over four decades of teaching -- and even more years of dharma studies -- to surface enlightenment lessons in everything from "Huckleberry Finn" to "The Cat in the Hat." in this unforgettable anecdote, Sluyter tells how he learned his first dharma lesson from the inimitable Alfred E. Neuman, the sublimely dorky "idiot mascot" of MAD Magazine. #madmagazine #alfredeneuman #stories #storytellers #enlightenment #enlightenmentlessons #dharma #dharmalessons #deansluyter #meditation #wisdomteaching
