Explaining the attractions (and pitfalls) of apick-and-choose approach, the discussion coversEastern and Western beliefs, all the while elucidating their practicesthrough personal anecdotes.An attack of existentialism, adogged attempt to discover God through poetry, a doomed "holiday" at a health farm, and time spent at a ritual Egyptian dance workshop are some of the instructive stories offered, complete withsuch odd charactersas asaffron-turbaned Dadaji, the poet Les Murray, anda Catholic priest who stops taking the author'scalls." |
