Straight British Zen "spiritual entertainer" Alan Watts became a California hippie.
Today's episode is "Jesus His Religion or the Religion About Him," Part 1, Oct. 3, 2021, 8:00 am

(Extension #221) For more than 40 years, Alan Watts has earned a reputation as one of the foremost interpreters of Zen Buddhism and Eastern philosophies for the West.

Beginning at the age of 16, when he wrote an essay for the journal of the Buddhist Lodge in London, he developed an audience of millions who were enriched through his lectures, books, recordings, radio show, TV series, and public talks.

As a hippie he went Way Beyond the West
In all, Watts wrote more than 25 books and recorded hundreds of lectures and seminars, all building toward a personal philosophy that he shares in complete candor and joyfully. His readers and listeners throughout the world gain much.

His works present a model of individuality and self-expression few philosophers can match. More
