Prior to his death in 1973, Alan Watts served as one of the unintentional spokesmen for the counterculture movement. He also authored over 20 books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Zen. During a 16-episode series broadcast on national television, he discusses basic Eastern ways of thinking. Watts worked hard to teach people about the different connections that bind all things together. Additional time on this tape is devoted to comparing and contrasting the teachings of Christianity and Buddhism. ~ Elizabeth Smith, All Movie Guide
