| | Alan Watts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While Watts was noted for an interest in Zen Buddhism, with its origins in China, his reading and discussions delved into Vedanta, "the new physics", cybernetics, semantics, process philosophy, natural history, and the anthropology of sexuality. | | | The pattern was set, in that Watts did not hide his dislike for religious outlooks that he decided were dour, guilt-ridden, or militantly proselytizing, whether found within Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism. | | | It was not long later that Watts felt forced to decide between the Anglican Christianity he had been exposed to and the Buddhism he had read about in various libraries, including Croshaw’s. |

| | Alan Watts Audio Books on CD, Cassette and MP3 |
| | Watts is now considered one of the most popular modern philosophers and his bibliography is considered by many to be some of the most important texts on the Tao, Zen and Eastern Religion in general. | | | To begin with Alan Watts we suggest listening to one of the most renowned Zen Audio Books, "The Way of Zen" which offers an accessible and spiritually rewarding exploration of Zen Buddhism to the novice. | | | This celebrated author, former Anglican priest, and self-described “spiritual entertainer” was responsible for igniting the passion of countless wisdom seekers to the spiritual and philosophical delights of Asia and India. |

| | ALAN WATTS - This Is IT |
| | Side 1 of this LP is titled "Zen Poems" with an introduction by Alan Watts followed by the recitation of some Zen poems. | | | It should also be pointed out that Watts' book "This Is It - Essays on Zen and Spiritual Experience" (1960) has no immediate relationship with the LP of the same name, and that "The Joyous Cosmology" (1962) is the Watts book most closely related to the LP and his psychedelic research. | | | Watts passed away in 1973 but remains one of the most celebrated spiritual thinkers of the turbulent post-war era. |

| | Alan Watts' audio at Mastering Enlightenments Arts |
| | The late Alan Watts, who is known as a master of communication, wrote over twenty books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, on Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Zen. | | | Legendary Zen guru Alan Watts led a cadre of musicians and non-musicians alike through communal chant, primitive choogle and raw American tribalism. | | | In the light of this, Alan Watts explores the use of arts, athletics and other secular activities as actually forms of Yoga - that is, as ways of realizing one's identity with the Ground of Being. |

| | Amazon.com: The Way of Zen: Books: Alan W. Watts |
| | Watts takes the reader back to the philosophical foundations of Zen in the conceptual world of Hinduism, follows Buddhism's course through the development of the early Mahayana school, the birth of Zen from Buddhism's marriage with Chinese Taoism, and on to Zen's unique expression in Japanese art and life. | | | This is a satisfying audio lesson on Zen, which Watts says is a way of life fundamentally different from any religion or science and that has a rich history of thinking regarding the question of individual being in relation to the world. | | | Throughout, Watts expresses himself in an infectious style, even in the very scholarly chapters on the history of Buddhism where he traces Zen from its origin in India, through the Buddha under the Po tree, to Ch'an in China, and finally into Japan. |

| | Alan Watts, a former Episcopal minister who later converted to Zen Buddhism, wrote and lectured extensively on Zen during the mid and latter 1960s and through the early 1970s. | | | This can be an enormous shock, and possibly misinterpreted as a religious or psychotic experience instead of a practical and necessary one." | | | When the original printing of Watts' "The Book" was released in 1966, it was proclaimed a breakthrough in modern thought, and was heralded as one of the most controversially important books of the twentieth century. |

| | Watts, who died in 1973, was a philosopher and scholar of comparative religion. | | | He is probably best known as an interpreter of Zen philosophy for Western lay-people, and many of his lectures from the 1960's are still broadcast on my local community radio station. | | | Alan Watts often quoted an Eastern aphorism: “When two Zen Masters meet on the road, they need no introduction; thieves and rogues recognize one another immediately.” Watts, who had as much rogue in him as scholar, would have recognized Professor Churchill right away. |
