Description

Embark on a personal exploration of Zen spirituality, guided by the late Alan Watts--a foremost interpreter of Eastern thought for the modern West. Comprised of Watts' acclaimed (and never before published) radio transcripts, this remarkable volume offers unique insights that clarify Zen's essence. With wit and lucidity, he discusses the nature of the self and the mystery of existence, presenting Zen both from his standpoint as a scholar with a deep understanding of Judeo-Christian traditions and as a Westerner who found meaning in Buddhism.
