The fascinating topics covered in this book include:
- Finding a Middle Way: How a spiritual path to awakening is formed not just by avoiding extreme indulgence but extreme denial as well
- The Religion of No-Religion: How Buddhism eschews any particular dogma and instead acts as a guide to understanding oneself
- Buddhism as Dialogue: How Zen teaches us that we are one with the world and so as we learn to navigate the world, we must also learn about ourselves
Watts traces the early beginnings of Buddhism, outlines the differences between Buddhism and other religions, and reviews the Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path. Buddhism: The Religion of No-Religion is a valuable reminder of the peace to be found by looking inward.

Recenzii
"It's easy to see why…his influence remains strong, not only in the Buddhist sanghas mushrooming across America but throughout popular culture…" —The New York Times
"Although Watts' famous voice and happy laughter are missing now, his penetrating vision remains, and his lectures become brilliant prose in book form." —Publishers Weekly
"An approachable set of lectures, especially helpful for readers studying Watts and Buddhism in the U.S. from the 1960s to 1973." —Library Journal
Notă biografică
Alan Watts (1915-1973) was a former Episcopal priest, born in London in 1915. He came to the U.S. in the 1930s, where he would become a scholar of Eastern religions. He moved to San Francisco in 1951 where he began teaching Buddhist studies, and in 1956 began his popular radio show, Way Beyond the West. By the early 1960s, Alan's radio talks aired nationally and the counterculture movement adopted him as a spiritual spokesperson. He went on to write more than twenty other books. He died in 1973.
