i've listened to watts on you tube for years now & i've never heard or seen a better put together collection of his work. i've studied buddism (academical, i mean) for some time and have never heard a better synthesis of what its all about than this video. thank you for the experience.
What a beautiful video and teaching. Thank you for posting it. I only wish that more people could see Buddhism in this way. I'm afraid that there are far too many who don't understand it and prefer to propagate stereotypes and misconceptions. Namaste, and again, thank you.
There is only one place where you are gonna find what your looking for. Inside yourself. Take what you like from external stimuli, in the end it is you who must experience truth. It cannot be experienced for you. It cannot be told to you. Even if it is, you will not truly understand, until you experience it. Knowing the path, and living it are two very different things. Good luck to you. You are already taking steps in the right direction. Peace and love
Buhdism is hard to learn but the more you concentrate to learn and practice it is spiritual and will improve your mind become wisdom and intelligent. If you say or act with buhda teach it likes you learn mathematics like 1+1=2 it will a good outcome like you choose a diamond not a rock. Thanks for this Video and I hope there more Video about Buhdism.
thanks djhdk, that would be great. been offered some other good music for my next one but hope to get a few made this year so more musical soundtracks for these would be welcomed
This is fantastic exposition...the music made it very accessible! However, it should be considered that this is only one perspective on the truth. There are multiple perspectives in Buddhism that don't all agree with the stuff that Watts says after he explains the division of beliefs. The word 'drama' in English comes from the Old Norse "draumur" which means "dream". Those who are in drama are dreaming and not awake, even in English. All Buddhist teachings are doorways to experience.
Buddha never claimed he is the god or massager of god. A person from Wealthy ruling family walked out from his palace with a begging bowl for next meal and looking for the answers for human suffering and purpose of life there after. His answers and realization is well suited in today’s scientific world. Buddha was open for any debate. You will be treated equally even you don’t follow him. Better you guys watch more videos about Buddhism and other religions
He also left his wife and child though they would have been well looked after in the palace. What sort of example is that, still happens now men that want to be monks leave there wife's family's and responsibilities behind just like he did. Some role model. He called it non attachment. I call it selfish you can guess I am not a fan of buhdisism
Years and years ago we had tv advertisements for a perfume called "Samsara" with beautiful women. Close up shots of their necks, the whole deal. Samsara! Today I get quite a chuckle out of that.
Once you realize what you are (IT) or FIND yourself then you lose yourself or HIDE and laugh at the pure joy of being everything... You are pretty smart. I can tell...
You're not alone in that. I had a difficult time with watching the video myself with both things going on at the same time. If the music were much lower than alan's volume in speaking it would be fine, but at the same volume, it's hard to concentrate on what Alan is saying and really take it in.
Brilliant video, great art and music choice. Music added to it! I'd like to know where you found the picture @ 0:34. Would love to buy/print that art, as a reminder that we Are the cosmos. That the galaxy through it's impermanence is the source of our body and thus life. A great metaphore!
thank you Paretozen, happy you like it. images borrowed found all over the web. just now searching 'atman' on google images that image at 0:34 is actually the very first image currently showing up there - from this web page savvydom.wordpress.com/category/atman best,
Thanks for this Video, to let people know more about Buhdism because Buhdism is the best religion to bring people peaceful and happiness because long time ago not many western people know. I wish western people step a another knowledge and won't never lose because Buhdism brings human wisdoms. Because God is just human imagination likes you sleep and dreams but when wake up the dreams is not real. So God is not real and no proof.
Alan Watts perspective on Buddhism - that it is about experience and that all concepts are false - reminds me of a certain quote: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.". It is interesting how universal some ideas are.
There are lots of perspectives on the one thing that everything points to. If we change the angle we look at, we have a greater idea of the truth, but there are more perspectives than there are seconds in a lifetime. You should not hold too tightly to this exploration or you miss the point of having a perspective. Perspectives should necessarily be personal. You should gain your own through experiences, rather than listening to what others say. Learn the rules, then throw them away and live.
I understand if this could be a little annoying... ... but it would be really nice if someone could tell me where could I find this picture @ 01:50? It's just so "perfect" :D Thanks! :)
Coming to explore secular Buddhism after being in a drug fueled haze for quite some time. The mist is finally beginning to clear, my mind is loving this. Beautiful.
maby I been confused in the past but is this the same guy alex jone speak to maby he this change or become more christianized or conservitive over time but he made more sense back then.
Wow, how much do i chase after my identity, how i chase after attachment, how i chase after connection with the universe, my connection to other people. But I am, I am connected, I am simply, one with it all. Damn this superficial world for its projection of delusion in separateness, the most destructive separateness being separated from self, being separated from the divine energy that binds and animates everything in the universe. Lacking is an illusion, my deprivation is caused by delusion
Reincarnation is more metaphorical in Buddhism and literal in Hinduism. They believe in one conscious that shapes and inhabits form. So technically were all incarnations of this consciousness. Reincarnation to me is a way of describing the conservation of mass in spiritual terms
hello & thank you for your comments see i had to approve even when settings saying to accept all comments. not logging into this channel much, focusing on new channel One Mind Awakening. more Alan Watts + other consciousness speakers there if might be interested th-cam.com/channels/vNef7Q0ovZPd0pFKQWvujw.html peace
Naked reality is an online video course I am creating that tries to modernize and modify the core of all mystical traditions so they can hopefully touch more people/
Maybe you should see things from both sides first befor you judge.. search this title in youtube; " Clashes, after Muslim man had doused a Buddhist woman with fuel and set her on fire " (read the discriptions) .... and.... " Buddhists offer Myanmar Muslims shelter in monastery " (hope this help) ..... Copy and past the title onto the TH-cam search bar..
All is great. I love the art you put into it. But the music ruins it. :-( I still give you a like. Maybe you don't need the music at all? I don't know. I haven't hear it without your soundtrack.
+Lindy thanks your comment and still liking it. words are edited from the longer talk 'buddhism - religion of no religion' you should be able to find to listen to in full on here without the added music. peace
To realized the Physical world and your Physical is not real What is there to have good deed and bad deed to cling on? What is there to have Good and Evil to cling on? To cling on good and bad is just you cannot beak away from the Karma link
If humans can experience hell here in this world...war,killings,terrorism,rape,torture,horrible pain during "natural catastrophies"...then I dont see why you find it difficult to see the truth in a God who "puts" you in hell. He doesnt put them.....they earn it....much the same like cause and effect.
Not all Buddhists believe in reincarnation (i assume you mean of the physical body) as Alan just said the Zen people are divided on the issue, i personally don't believe that i (my body) can be reincarnated after my death.
Not the body, but the spirit is reincarnated. We keep coming back, if we choose until we have learned the lessons we need to learn to reach as pure as we can become in spirit. Godlike..
This has got to be one of the best videos on Alan Watts and Buddhism I have ever come across! Good job!
Incredible video. I loveeee Alan Watts and you express his teaching so beautifully here. The music, the images, the audio, all perfection. Thanks!

Thank you Alan for all of your knowledge! Your work is appreciated greatly! 🧿🌀🙏
Love Allen, I have read his books and listened to his lectures for years, truly a wonderful teacher.

Superb writer and a man that really turned me on a long time ago, thanks for this superb video, a great tribute and a reminder
Wow. Buddhism really puts damper on many industries of problem solving.
Thank you for your blessing, wisdom & understanding
Excellent! Thank you for posting.
Buhdism is hard to learn but the more you concentrate to learn and practice it is spiritual and will improve your mind become wisdom and intelligent.

Well done, good karma! Videos and kind words such as this help to bring some light into the world, may all beings be happy and free....

This is a great video for understanding Buddhism! Also very entertaining!

alan watts is in theprocess of changing my mind
thank you, and to all the other commenters i see have left nice comments on here over the last months

Nothing is permanant so we must stop clinging to our selfish thoughts. Thx for the great video!

it's kind of a Zen perspective, and Zen is Buddhism and Taoism mixed. Alan some extensively on the Tao
talked*
good job whoever you are
the one "picture of neo" ,awesome
Namaste. 🙏
sounds like a good plan rross27. peace.

The background music is problematic sometimes
Can anyone link me to the music on this great video
E Mart the 3 music tracks used are listed in the video description. glad you found it to be a great video. thanks
What is the art piece used at 1:02?
Edvard Munch - The Scream (1893), oh wait, there were no sky scrapers then. Cannot find this particular rendition. :)
The music was irrelevant and distracting. This was an interesting talk marred by the background noise.
a w e s o m e
I meant "ALAN"
where can i find the full lecture?

Yes, music is too much. Thanks for posting information to find the original recording
The background noise makes this unlistenable
OMG, the music!!! So distressing and so loud. It's destroying AW beautiful words...
To realized the Physical world and your Physical is not real
What is there to have good deed and bad deed to cling on?
What is there to have Good and Evil to cling on?
To cling on good and bad is just you cannot beak away from the Karma link
Correction: People fail.

If humans can experience hell here in this world...war,killings,terrorism,rape,torture,horrible pain during "natural catastrophies"...then I dont see why you find it difficult to see the truth in a God who "puts" you in hell. He doesnt put them.....they earn it....much the same like cause and effect.
Well who is the creator of everything? It's God so I don't belive in Buddhism... Poor people in budism countries so I think its not for me ❤️
Hinduism is Atman, Buddhism is Non-Atman or Anatman
Not all Buddhists believe in reincarnation (i assume you mean of the physical body) as Alan just said the Zen people are divided on the issue, i personally don't believe that i (my body) can be reincarnated after my death.
Not the body, but the spirit is reincarnated. We keep coming back, if we choose until we have learned the lessons we need to learn to reach as pure as we can become in spirit. Godlike..
