Alan Watts - Journey From India

I've been on a Watts-a-Thon and so ...

I wanted to also share this one because it covers a lot of ground, including information about the vehicles, historical context, and it also sheds light on the dialectic aspects of Buddhism between student and teacher. I think this lecture will be of interest to those who are curious about the subject, as well as casual and even more dedicated practitioners.

Watts was quite the scholar, so even if one does not agree with him on every point, it has been clear that he did both conceptual and practical research into the subjects he lectures on. Keep in mind that he was a part of the initial wave of the introduction of Buddhism to the West. Watts was a popular author along those lines and he had his own flavor of approach to popularizing the Dharma.
