Curious about meditation, Zen and Tao?

An excellent introduction to these fascinating subjects. There are three books by Alan Watts collected in this single volume. The first book, What is Zen draws on both zazen (sitting meditation) and how we can learn to live in teh present moment. It is only in the present that we can experience life directly, free of the clutter and needless thought and preconceptions. Watts suggest the ineffable by pointing towards a truly universal spiritual experience: those times when we transcend the self and feel at one with the universe.
