The dharma of The princess bride : what the coolest fairy tale of our time can teach us about Buddhism and relationships / Ethan Nichtern. by Nichtern, Ethan, author. New York : North Point Press, a division of Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2017. Subjects Princess bride (Motion picture)   Buddhism in motion pictures. ISBN:  9780865477766 (hardcover) 0865477760 (hardcover) Description:  viii, 275 pages ; 20 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  Friendship. Romance. Family. These are the three areas Ethan Nichtern delves into, taking as departure points the indelible characters--Westley, Fezzik, Vizzini, Count Rugen, Princess Buttercup, and others from Rob Reiner's perennially popular film--as he also draws lessons from his own life and his work as a meditation teacher. Nicthern devotes the first section of the book to exploring the dynamics of friendship. Why do people become friends? What can we learn from the sufferings of Inigo Montoya and Fezzik? Next, he leads us through all the phases of illusion and disillusion we encounter in our romantic pursuits, providing a healthy dose of lightheartedness along the way by sharing his own Princess Buttercup List and the vicissitudes of his dating life as he ponders how we idealize and objectify romantic love. Finally, Nichtern draws upon the demands of his own family history and the film's character the Grandson to explore the dynamics of "the last frontier of awakening," a reference to his teacher Chogyam Trungpa's claim that it's possible to be enlightened everywhere except around your family.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Nichtern Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.4372 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Nichtern Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.4372 Ni Checked In Add Copy to MyList
