"To really do nothing, with perfection, is as difficult as doing
everything." --Alan Watts Buddhism: The Religion of No-Religion
presents 12 powerful essays by Alan Watts, the guru for an entire
generation of 20th century thinkers, who continue to be relevant
and impactful today. Watts was an engaging speaker and an icon of
America's Beat and Counterculture movements whose friends included
Aldous Huxley, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Cage and Joseph
Campbell. This book is a valuable reminder of the peace that can be
had by looking inward. Watts explores all aspects of Buddhism--from
its roots in ancient India to the explosion of interest in Zen and
Tibetan Buddhism taught in the West today. The fascinating topics
covered in this book include: Finding a Middle Way: How a spiritual
path to awakening is formed not just by avoiding extreme indulgence
but also extreme denial The Religion of No-Religion: How Buddhism
eschews any particular dogma but instead acts as a guide to
understanding oneself Buddhism as Dialogue: How Zen teaches us that
we are one with the world and so as we learn to navigate it, we
must also learn about ourselves Watts also outlines the differences
between Buddhism and other religions, and reviews the Four Noble
Truths and The Eightfold Path. A new foreword by Mark Watts
explains his father's life's work and teachings.
