Description

In these essays, many of them previously unpublished, Watts displays the playfulness of thought and simplicity of language that have made his the most perennially popular interpreter of Eastern thought. He draws on a variety of religious traditions and explores such topics as the limits of language in the face of spiritual truth, the challenge of seeing one's life 'just as it is', the psychological symbolism at the heart of Christian thought, and much more.
