The widespread influence of Buddhism is due in part to the skill with which a way of liberation was refined by it's 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

Quotes

    Zen master Dogen put it this way, “Spring does not become summer. First there is spring and then there is summer. Each season stays in its own place.” In the same way, the you of yesterday does not become the you of today.

    Buddhists believe in this kind of supreme god, but they do not believe that that god is particularly important.
