I recently read an excellent book on “The Way of Zen” by Alan Watts – its in two parts, the first a history of Zen which is enjoyable enough and useful context, and the second an inspiring exploration of it. Mentioning this on a forum, someone helpfully sent me a file with a number of Watts’ lectures on it which I’ve started listening to and synchronously enough some sweet and gently amusing little animations have appeared from Trey Parker and Matt Stone using some of the texts, spoken by Watts.
If you enjoy that first one, here is a link to a few more.

Just last summer I found Alan Watts and read the same book. I loved his writing and found myself wishing I’d known him personally.
Hey Rich
Thanks for sharing that.
Really wanna read the book now
