Zen

[Artguy]

The Way Of Zen by Allen Watts, well I'm about midway through this tome, and if I wasn't such a pig headed lout I would put it down, but I must finish. Why is it when westerners write about Buddhism they tend to take the simplest of ideas and turn it into something cryptic......do they like to hear themselves type? Step away from the thesaurus.....

[judih]

form is emptiness, emptiness is form

same story

I am addicted to audio tapes, started when I was a long haul trucker on those silent starry nights when I was driving through the great emptiness that is the western united states that mnaz writes about.

I don't know now how many times I listened to this, a couple of hundred thousand miles worth I guess.
