Put zena

Alan Watts

The Way of Zen is a famous 1957 book by Alan Watts about Zen Buddhism and Eastern philosophy. An all-time bestseller it played an important role in introducing Buddhism to a mostly young audience in the West.

The Way of Zen is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the background and historical development of Zen Buddhism, and the second focusing on principles and practices. The second half has sections that include "Empty and Wonderful", "Sitting Quietly, Doing Nothing", "Za-Zen and Koan", and "Zen and Art".

Watts traces the origins of Zen Buddhism as a synthesis of Chinese Taoism and Mahayana Buddhism. Watts introduces the reader to various Eastern philosophical concepts such as wuwei, the Middle Way, and anatman. Watts portrays the Western philosophical tradition as essentially limited by strict adherence to logical structures in contrast to Eastern philosophy which is not bound by these structures.
