The Way of Zen
I recently finished The Way of Zen, a bestselling book by Alan Watts. Originally published in 1957, this non-fiction work explores Zen Buddhism and Eastern philosophy through the lens of a philosopher and religious scholar. Watts presents Zen concepts in a way that is both engaging and accessible to a Western audience.
The book playfully challenges many ideas that Westerners often accept as absolute truths, offering fresh perspectives and practical insights into Eastern thought. It provides clear explanations and tools to help readers begin their journey into Zen philosophy. A fascinating read, it has left me with much to reflect on for a long time to come.
