Description
Alan Watts' concise introduction to Zen Buddhism is presented in a minimalist format that embodies the aesthetic of the philosophy itself. With seven brief chapters, Watts explores fundamental concepts, introduces key thinkers and places Zen within the broader context of Eastern religion.
The book features calligraphy and drawings by the author, adding visual interest to its sparse yet precise text. This reprint of an old work is a great introduction for new readers to Alan Watts' groundbreaking scholarship and literary brilliance.
