Watts does a very good job of taking Buddhism back to it's Hindu roots while also thrusting it forward into it's neoadvaitan bedrock foundation. For the student primarily interested in Buddhism, he devotes a chapter to the historic path of Hinayana and Mahayana traditions, as well as Pure Land. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. For the present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever. ... You may believe yourself out of harmony with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist Now." In this collection of writings, including nine new chapters never before available in book form, Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and simplicity of language that has made him so perennially popular as an interpreter of Eastern thought for Westerners. He draws on a variety of religious traditions, and covers topics such as the challenge of seeing one's life "just as it is," the Taoist approach to harmonious living, the limits of language in the face of ineffable spiritual truth, and the psychological symbolism of Christian thought.--Publisher description.
