Alan Watts is probably the best interpreter of Eastern thought for Western minds. And when he lectures, he is especially engaging. In this short compilation of some of his teaching on meditation, Alan Watts isn’t afraid to make a fool of himself in order to get his point across. He bangs on a gong, chants loudly, and repeats elongated “aums” maybe a few too many times, but his presentation is entertaining and enlightening nonetheless. He teaches how to remain in the eternal now and takes us through a few meditations. Since the recording is old, the sound effects of ocean waves and rain laid over the recording aren’t so much soothing as they are static noise. But it’s always great to hear Alan Watts.
