Description

Born in England in 1915, Alan Watts attended King’s College School Canterbury, served on the Council of the World Congress of Faiths (1936-38), and came to the United States in 1938. He held a Master’s Degree in Theology from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and an Honarary DD from the University of of Vermont in recognition of his work in the field of comparative religions. Alan Watts became widely recognized for his Zen writings and for The Book, On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are. He died in 1973 at his home in California, and is survived by his second wife and seven children. For more than forty years, Alan Watts earned a reputation as a foremost interpreter of Eastern philosophies for the West. Beginning at age sixteen, when he wrote essays for the journal of the Buddhist Lodge in London, he developed an audience of millions who were enriched through his books, tape recordings, radio, television, and public lectures. In all Watts wrote more than twenty-five books and recorded hundreds of lecture and seminars, all building toward a personal philosophy that he shared in complete candor and joy with his readers and listeners throughout the world. His overall works have presented a model of individuality and self-expression that can be matched by few philosophers. His life and work reflect an astonishing adventure: he was an editor, Anglican priets, graduate dean, broadcaster, author, lecturer, and entertainer. He has fascinations for archery, calligraphy, cooking, chanting, and dancing, and still was completely comfortable hiking alone in the wilderness. He held fellowships from Harvard University and the Bollingen Foundation, and was Episcopal Chaplain at Northwestern University during the Second World War. He became professor and dean of the American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco, made the television series “Eastern Wisdom and Modern Life” for National Educational Television, and served as a visisting consultant for psychiatric institutions and hospitals, and for the United States Air Force. In the mid-sixties he traveled widely with his students in Japan, and visisted Burma, Ceylon, and India.A collection of works by Alan Watts, inspired interpreter of Eastern philosophy for the West, especially formatted by calibre for the Kindle in MOBI format.Myth & Christianity, Ritual in – Alan Watts.mobi 1.71 MiBThe Philosophies of Asia – Alan Watts.mobi 683.32 KiBAlan Watts Lectures and Essays – Alan Watts.mobi 559.86 KiBBook On The Taboo Against Knowing Who Yo – Alan Watts.mobi 434.7 KiBA Psychedelic Experience – Alan Watts.mobi 200.71 KiBPsychedelics and Religious Experience – Alan Watts.mobi 171.19 KiBThe Soul-Searchers – Alan Watts.mobi 150.13 KiBFrom Time to Eternity – Alan Watts.mobi 143.7 KiBThe Joyous Cosmology – Alan Watts.mobi 124.67 KiBThe New Alchemy – Alan Watts.mobi 104.42 KiBEnjoyBaba13
