An abridged western version of Buddhism by the most spiritual Alan Watts. Alan Watts is an Atheist Buddhist who was a writer, poet, and philosopher that took Buddhism and compared it to western philosophy (however much he will argue he is not just those confined definitions of himself). He left behind a great deal of recordings and some would argue is the first major influence on Buddhism to western culture. He grew up as a Catholic and when pressed chose Buddhism over it. He has a masters in Theology and doctorate in 'divinity'.
