The Way of Zen
His standard work and the book that made him internationally known. Part one reconstructs Zen's background — Indian thought, Taoism and Mahayana Buddhism — and its formation in China; part two sets out its principles and practice: zazen, koans and Zen's expression in the arts. Watts draws on general semantics and cybernetics to explain non-dual experience. In print continuously since 1957 and translated into many languages.
