Zen’s common sense philosophy has such a direct no nonsense positive effect it still stuns me that something so easy to understand is so profound
I would have loved to be his wife
“The way of Zen” was the book that changed my life at the exact moment I needed it changed, and my life would have been a complete disaster if I had not read it.
@ZenBarracuda THAT IS WHY IT FLOATS IN THE AIR! It’s all becoming clear now.
Oh, Mr. Watts, how I would’ve liked to meet you. Talk for hours at one of the temples in Kyoto, with the smell of shodo ink mixed with the subtle fragrance of Japanese incense.
laotsu7777, thank you very much for sharing. May you and you beloved one enjoy happiness and health for many years to come.
wow i love it ^_^
I’ve just been on Amazon and ordered two of Alan Watts’ books on zen. I’ve read a lot about zen and I look forward with great interest to reading Alan Watts thoughts and interpretations.
I have nothing to say … and i’m saying it.
Same story with me…so much so, i now own 4 copies of The Book and constantly and letting people borrow them
Any chance you can redo the audio? It’s a slightly over-compressed and garbled. Thanks for posting.
My book I used it in the fireplace to keep me warm one night. The chi flowed that night. Best Wishes Rich DeLuca ps: glad you enjoyed the book that was one of my favorites too.
Lmfao I’m the same way about good games I play. “You gotta play this dude!”
xD
“The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are” literally saved my life. I found it in a thrift store in NC.
I was so ravenous about it that I lent it to a few friends and eventually it was lost carelessly.
If that doesn’t show the truth in impermanence I don’t know what does.
@Vilemk0 The moon’s a balloon.
Interestingly enough, he died on my birth-date. Although before I was born.
Alan Wilson Watts died of heart failure in his sleep. January 6, 1915 November 16, 1973
He was playing with a balloon the night of his passing – allegedly remarking on lightness of the balloon (from memory – source Chungliang Huang’s preface to “Tao and the Watercourse Way”)
He was a great thinker of our time and gave insight to many people.
I only heard of him from youtube but il miss him when did he die
Saddly.
Man if you truly belived what people like watts said you would get so angry by this persons comments that is his or hers opinion at the end of the day it effects only them dont get angry with the person just know they are wrong and ignore it

Om…
Greco-Buddhism, sometimes spelt Graeco-Buddhism, refers to the cultural syncretism between Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed between the 4th century BCE and the 5th century CE
This man shares a lot of my thought and has also opened my mind a little more:)
Of course you’re a Libertarian now your ENTIRE IDEOLOGY is a complete and utter FAILURE. Frothing at the mouth with your CULT OF INSANITY. Lying won’t help you. I’ve heard every REPUBLITARD is now running towards the Libertarian party.You ultimately don’t believe in ANYTHING.If we are to believe that you are an anarchist and Libertarian then perhaps we should also believe that a peanut butter and sausage sandwich go well together. Comeback with you’re typical ad hominem attacks we expect it.
Who are you to speak about a dead mans perspective? That’s one of those pathetic things I hear people say pretty often. Like what would To Pac think or say? Or anyone for that matter. It’s just plain pointless.
