The widespread influence of Buddhism is due in part to the skill with which a way of liberation was refined by its teachers and became accessible to people of diverse cultures. In this dynamic series of lectures, Alan Watts takes us on an exploration of Buddhism, from its roots in India to the explosion of interest in Zen and the Tibetan tradition in the West. Watts traces the Indian beginnings of Buddhism, delineates differences between Buddhism and other religions, looks at the radical methods of the Mahayan Buddhist, and reviews the Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path.

Alan Watts was born in England in 1915. He wrote his first book, The Spirit of Zen, in 1935 and went on to write more than twenty others including The Way of Zen. Dr. Watts was an Episcopalian priest, professor, graduate-school dean and research fellow of Harvard University. Although he died in 1973, he is one of the most accessible philosophers of our time, whose work continues to be a source of wisdom and inspiration for new generations of readers.
