Alan Watts: Buddhism is Hinduism for export


Alan Watts: Mahayana Buddhism is Hinduism stripped for export
(Crypto Current) According to Alan Watts, Buddhism is the essence of Hinduism. Let's enjoy the brilliant mind of British Buddhist Alan Watts, who wrote many bestselling books.

He is one of the most widely read philosophers of the 20th century, responsible for 28 books and hundreds of radio lectures.

Best known as an interpreter and popularizer of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience, Watts walked the earth (mostly California) from 1915-1973.
