For Moore this fits better than the shaved head, mantra chanting, and incense wreathed thought that most Westerners have associated with Dharma. The author looks for something or someway for him to replace what he lacked from his childhood faith. In the book, he seeks guidance towards confronting and being able to answer the big questions that leave us dissatisfied and wanting more information. My favorite parts of this book were Chapters 6 “Catholic Boy Zen” and 9 “The Plain-Spoken Theravada.”…

For this reflection paper, I chose the reading from Deliverance from Error titled “The Ways of Mysticism.” For the most part I had a negative reaction to the reading. Though it is a significant part of most religions, I am deterred by the “guilt-trip” aspect of this reading. I don’t understand how living a comfortable life detracts from one’s personal relationship with God, why must people suffer to have their quality of belief made valid? The narrator in this reading was a scholar and he claimed that his career hindered his religion due to him being in a position of power, so he quit his job in favor of an ascetic lifestyle.…
