His delightful Introduction to Zen Buddhism is rather narrow and specialized. It omits the essential information about the relation of Zen to Chinese Taoism and Indian Buddhism, and is in some respects rather more mystifying than it need be. His other works are studies of special aspects of Zen. The Zen Sammich Podcast. Zen Sammich is a podcast for the independent thinker and anyone who embraces life despite its absurdity. Professor, lawyer, and Japanese paper maker, Mark Reid, inspires mindfulness, humor, and a realistic 21st century “zen lifestyle.” Join him as he observes the socially constructed mess of reality.
Alan Wilson Watts (Chislehurst, 6 gennaio1915 – Mount Tamalpais, 16 novembre1973) è stato un filosofoinglese.
Biografia[modifica | modifica wikitesto]
Alan Watts Age Of Death
Nato nel 1915, nel Kent, da una famiglia della classe media , si trasferì negli Stati Uniti nel 1938. Noto per i suoi vasti studi di filosofia orientale (buddhismo Zen, taoismo, induismo), pubblicò nel 1957The Way of Zen, la sua opera più significativa.
Poco tempo dopo, durante un tour in Europa, ebbe modo di conoscere lo psichiatra e psicanalista Carl Gustav Jung con cui approfondì alcune nuove tesi sulla moderna psicologia. Al suo ritorno negli Stati Uniti fu introdotto all'esperienza psichedelica dal Dr. Oscar Janiger.
Entrò poi in seminario venendo ordinato pastore episcopaliano, ma poi la sua esperienza spirituale lo portò alla conversione al buddhismo.
Ebbe modo di insegnare nelle università di Cambridge (Inghilterra), Cornell (USA) e Hawaii.

Negli ultimi anni della sua vita divenne uno dei punti di riferimento per tutta l'area della controcultura.
Watts morì nel sonno, a causa di scompenso cardiaco sorto all'età di 58 anni dopo un faticoso tour di seminari.
