• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Bensonhurst Sutra: Tales of an Italian American Buddhist is a collection of autobiographical essays that chronicles DeLuca's movement from a traditional, and much-loved Italian American/Catholic community in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn to an embrace of Buddhism. Geraldine DeLuca is a writer, painter, and English professor who taught at Brooklyn College, CUNY for many years. Early in her career, she found herself drawn to the ways that contemplative practices could take the edge off the tension in her classroom. Joining other teachers and writers who advocated for 'radical self-acceptance' as a way of approaching whatever came next, she sought to put down the burden of the endlessly critical self and looked for a spiritual tradition that could support her experiences. Bensonhurst Sutra grounds the stories of her life in the search for a more peaceful way of being. For many years she has been a part of the Valley Insight Meditation Society in Lebanon, New Hampshire, which grounds her work, her relationships, and her experience of being in the world.
