A native of England, Alan Watts attended the King's School near Canterbury Cathedral, and at the age of fourteen he became fascinated with the philosophies of the Far East. By sixteen he regularly attended the Buddhist Lodge in London, where he met Zen scholars Christmas Humphries and D. T. Suzuki. As a speaker and contributor to the Lodge's journal, The Middle Way, he wrote a series of philosophical commentaries and published his first book on Eastern thought, The Spirit of Zen, at age twenty-one.
In the late thirties he moved to New York, and a few years later he became an Episcopalian priest. In 1942 he moved to Illinois and spent the wartime years as chaplain at Northwestern University.
Then, in 1950, he left the Church, and his life took a turn away from organized religion back toward Eastern ways and expanding horizons. After meeting author and mythologist Joseph Campbell and composer John Cage in New York he headed to California and began teaching at the American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco. There his popular lectures spilled over into coffeehouse talks and appearances with the well-known beat writers Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. In late 1953 he began what would become the longest running series of Sunday morning public radio talks, which continue to this day with programs from the Alan Watts tape archives. In 1957 he published the bestselling The Way of Zen, beginning a prolific ten-year period in which he wrote Nature, Man and Woman; Beat Zen, Square Zen and Zen; This Is It; Psychotherapy East and West; The Two Hands of God; The Joyous Cosmology; and The Book: On the Taboo against Knowing Who You Are.
By 1960 Watts's radio series Way Beyond the West on Berkeley's KPFA had an avid following on the West Coast, and NET television began national broadcasts of the series Eastern Wisdom in Modern Life. The first season, recorded in the studios of KQED, a San Francisco television station, focused on the relevance of Buddhism, and the second, on Zen and the arts.

Welcome. In this video compilation you will see how Mahayana Buddhism arose in competition with the Theravada. Here is the theory that it's posture of being disrespectful to enlightened arahants resulted in the rise of Communism wiping out most of the Mahayana in Communist countries. Finally, the last word on the Mahayana is that Mara Mada Mahayana - Marayana.
About a month after posting this video, I received these enthusiastic emails from an American Mahayana Buddhist monk, Ven. Mui Ananda. Then, I got a phone call from an American Mahayana monk on the west coast and he was in favour of starting an association with me, of non partisan Buddhists to better reveal this historic truth about Buddhism. Now, this is on my theravada.ca website with "The 7th Council - A Call for Papers". I had no idea that such support would come from Mahayanists.
Ven. Mui Ananda's
Message:
You are truly a teacher of authentic Buddhism.
In 1971 I was ordained a monk in the Thai forest Tradition. I spent five years as a monk before I returned home to the United States, by way of Germany, the home of my parents. In the US I found no Theravada centers in the late 1970s. So I studied Zen and became ordained in Zen. Later I wandered, that is the correct term, into Pure Land Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. As time went on I became a fairly well established teacher in these areas of Mahayana and Vajrayana. I tried to filter the teachings of these schools through the Pali canon every time there seemed to be a conflict. This practice is discouraged in many of the schools. When there is a conflict the same reasoning was expressed, "Pali is for people not advanced enough to understand the full meaning of the Buddha." While skeptical of this reasoning I accepted it with a grain of salt.
About ten years ago I began teaching Theravada Buddhism again. My Zen Master and I had a falling out over this. She was very bitter and I was told to leave her sangha. So I remained a Zen priest/monk afterwards, I was not attached to a specific temple but wandered to different centers throughout America I continued studies in Pure Land and Vajrayana. Over time I became agitated.
I returned to the Pali Canon and Theravada and began teaching that exclusively. I tried to bridge the gaps between Mahayana and Theravada. In doing this I was no longer teaching Zen, Pure Land and Vajrayana. I was only pointing out inconsistency. It became impossible for me to faithfully teach the Mahayana any longer. After studying the Saddhammapatirupaka Sutta it became obvious what was happening in my life.
So today I am called a Theravada teacher disguised as a Mahayana (Zen) monk. It is true. To a certain extent, this has cost me my livelihood as a teacher. So having said all this, I am very please to have recently found Youtube video "What's Wrong With Mahayana Buddhism". You have validated my deepest feelings and concerns.
Unfortunately, the US is inundated with these dubious teachings and teachers where money not Dhamma is important. You have convinced me of the need to continue teaching the Dhamma as Buddha taught it.
Mui Ananda sensei

I viewed another couple of your videos last night where nailed Pure Land quite rightly. It was actually the flaws in Pure Land that led me to further investigate the Soto Zen teachings and find problems there. After a while I was scratching my head and had a perpetual WTF expression on my face while asking, "What happened to the Buddha in Buddhism?"
Yes, I was in Thailand with Ajahn Chah for a time. Some of the moments are quite vivid but after all this time much of the memories are like delicate cobwebs. They crumble at the slightest touch.
In Peace and with Metta,
Anagarika Ananda Abhaya

by Paul Kacynski Through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org Perhaps the title overstates the case, but this has been said of the great Madhyamaka scholar who, we are told, brought back the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras from Nagas, hence his name. No more influential thinker exists in Buddhism, apart from the Buddha Siddhartha himself. As he says in his introductory work, the Stanzas on the Root of the Middle Way, he is he claims, merely a commentator on the Buddha's doctrine of "no self". He extends this idea to include all phenomena and as the brilliant expositor of Mahayana tradition, is revered as an ancestor of all the Mahayana schools, from Tibet to Japan. Very nice job, offered in the first person.

As always HH will give a short intro to Buddhism before the start of any of his teachings. This intro was given to students during the teaching of 'Heart Sutra & 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva', September 2010.
This intro HH talks about the importance of the Hinayana & Mahayana Buddhism in support of Tantrayana, as well as clearing doubts on the Vajrayana practices. Part 1 is general buddhism which will suit everyone.
Part 2 talks on the more advance buddhist topics such as Law of Causality & Dependent Origination, which may be suitable for more advance practitioners.

Zen is a school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the Tang dynasty as Chán. It was strongly influenced by Taoism, and developed as a distinguished Chinese style of Buddhism. From China, Chán spread south to Vietnam, northeast to Korea and east to Japan, where it became known as Japanese Zen.
Zen emphasizes rigorous meditation-practice, insight into Buddha-nature, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of others. As such, it deemphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine

As such, it deemphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine Subscribe our Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-pu8zarVWMOsO4E_2enxtA -

The difference between Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism(GDD-0204, Master Sheng Yen)
In Shakyamuni Buddha's time, Buddhism had not split into Mahayana and Hinayana, though Mahayana ideas were already circulating. The distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana and their later developments reflect the different ways of interpreting the Buddha's ideas and the precepts. While Hinayana Buddhism is a conservative form of Buddhism that adheres to Pali scriptures and the Buddha's original teachings, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the Bodhisattva spirit in delivering senting beings and transforming the world. -

A native of England, Alan Watts attended the King's School near Canterbury Cathedral, and at the age of fourteen he became fascinated with the philosophies of the Far East. By sixteen he regularly attended the Buddhist Lodge in London, where he met Zen scholars Christmas Humphries and D. T. Suzuki. As a speaker and contributor to the Lodge's journal, The Middle Way, he wrote a series of philosophical commentaries and published his first book on Eastern thought, The Spirit of Zen, at age twenty-one.
In the late thirties he moved to New York, and a few years later he became an Episcopalian priest. In 1942 he moved to Illinois and spent the wartime years as chaplain at Northwestern University.
Then, in 1950, he left the Church, and his life took a turn away from organized religion back toward Eastern ways and expanding horizons. After meeting author and mythologist Joseph Campbell and composer John Cage in New York he headed to California and began teaching at the American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco. There his popular lectures spilled over into coffeehouse talks and appearances with the well-known beat writers Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. In late 1953 he began what would become the longest running series of Sunday morning public radio talks, which continue to this day with programs from the Alan Watts tape archives. In 1957 he published the bestselling The Way of Zen, beginning a prolific ten-year period in which he wrote Nature, Man and Woman; Beat Zen, Square Zen and Zen; This Is It; Psychotherapy East and West; The Two Hands of God; The Joyous Cosmology; and The Book: On the Taboo against Knowing Who You Are.
By 1960 Watts's radio series Way Beyond the West on Berkeley's KPFA had an avid following on the West Coast, and NET television began national broadcasts of the series Eastern Wisdom in Modern Life. The first season, recorded in the studios of KQED, a San Francisco television station, focused on the relevance of Buddhism, and the second, on Zen and the arts.

Welcome. In this video compilation you will see how Mahayana Buddhism arose in competition with the Theravada. Here is the theory that it's posture of being disrespectful to enlightened arahants resulted in the rise of Communism wiping out most of the Mahayana in Communist countries. Finally, the last word on the Mahayana is that Mara Mada Mahayana - Marayana.
About a month after posting this video, I received these enthusiastic emails from an American Mahayana Buddhist monk, Ven. Mui Ananda. Then, I got a phone call from an American Mahayana monk on the west coast and he was in favour of starting an association with me, of non partisan Buddhists to better reveal this historic truth about Buddhism. Now, this is on my theravada.ca website with "The 7th Council - A Call for Papers". I had no idea that such support would come from Mahayanists.
Ven. Mui Ananda's
Message:
You are truly a teacher of authentic Buddhism.
In 1971 I was ordained a monk in the Thai forest Tradition. I spent five years as a monk before I returned home to the United States, by way of Germany, the home of my parents. In the US I found no Theravada centers in the late 1970s. So I studied Zen and became ordained in Zen. Later I wandered, that is the correct term, into Pure Land Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. As time went on I became a fairly well established teacher in these areas of Mahayana and Vajrayana. I tried to filter the teachings of these schools through the Pali canon every time there seemed to be a conflict. This practice is discouraged in many of the schools. When there is a conflict the same reasoning was expressed, "Pali is for people not advanced enough to understand the full meaning of the Buddha." While skeptical of this reasoning I accepted it with a grain of salt.
About ten years ago I began teaching Theravada Buddhism again. My Zen Master and I had a falling out over this. She was very bitter and I was told to leave her sangha. So I remained a Zen priest/monk afterwards, I was not attached to a specific temple but wandered to different centers throughout America I continued studies in Pure Land and Vajrayana. Over time I became agitated.
I returned to the Pali Canon and Theravada and began teaching that exclusively. I tried to bridge the gaps between Mahayana and Theravada. In doing this I was no longer teaching Zen, Pure Land and Vajrayana. I was only pointing out inconsistency. It became impossible for me to faithfully teach the Mahayana any longer. After studying the Saddhammapatirupaka Sutta it became obvious what was happening in my life.
So today I am called a Theravada teacher disguised as a Mahayana (Zen) monk. It is true. To a certain extent, this has cost me my livelihood as a teacher. So having said all this, I am very please to have recently found Youtube video "What's Wrong With Mahayana Buddhism". You have validated my deepest feelings and concerns.
Unfortunately, the US is inundated with these dubious teachings and teachers where money not Dhamma is important. You have convinced me of the need to continue teaching the Dhamma as Buddha taught it.

I viewed another couple of your videos last night where nailed Pure Land quite rightly. It was actually the flaws in Pure Land that led me to further investigate the Soto Zen teachings and find problems there. After a while I was scratching my head and had a perpetual WTF expression on my face while asking, "What happened to the Buddha in Buddhism?"
Yes, I was in Thailand with Ajahn Chah for a time. Some of the moments are quite vivid but after all this time much of the memories are like delicate cobwebs. They crumble at the slightest touch.

From China, Chán spread south to Vietnam, northeast to Korea and east to Japan, where it became known as Japanese Zen.
Zen emphasizes rigorous meditation-practice, insight into Buddha-nature, and the personal expression of this insight in daily life, especially for the benefit of others. As such, it deemphasizes mere knowledge of sutras and doctrine

In Shakyamuni Buddha's time, Buddhism had not split into Mahayana and Hinayana, though Mahayana ideas were already circulating. The distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana and their later developments reflect the different ways of interpreting the Buddha's ideas and the precepts. While Hinayana Buddhism is a conservative form of Buddhism that adheres to Pali scriptures and the Buddha's original teachings, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the Bodhisattva spirit in delivering senting beings and transforming the world.

Here is an episode from the 1960 season of Alan Watts' KQED television series, Eastern Wisdom & Modern Life, entitled "Mahayana Buddhism".
To find out how you can purchase the entire Eastern Wisdom & Modern Life series on DVD, please visit: http://alanwatts.com/collections
A native of England, Alan Watts attended the King's School near Canterbury Cathedral, and at the age of fourteen he became fascinated with the philosophies of the Far East. By sixteen he regularly attended the Buddhist Lodge in London, where he met Zen scholars Christmas Humphries and D. T. Suzuki. As a speaker and contributor to the Lodge's journal, The Middle Way, he wrote a series of philosophical commentaries and published his first book on Eastern thought, The Spirit of Zen, at age twenty-one.
In the late thirties he moved to New York, and a few years later he became an Episcopalian priest. In 1942 he moved to Illinois and spent the wartime years as chaplain at Northwestern University.
Then, in 1950, he left the Church, and his life took a turn away from organized religion back toward Eastern ways and expanding horizons. After meeting author and mythologist Joseph Campbell and composer John Cage in New York he headed to California and began teaching at the American Academy of Asian Studies in San Francisco. There his popular lectures spilled over into coffeehouse talks and appearances with the well-known beat writers Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. In late 1953 he began what would become the longest running series of Sunday morning public radio talks, which continue to this day with programs from the Alan Watts tape archives. In 1957 he published the bestselling The Way of Zen, beginning a prolific ten-year period in which he wrote Nature, Man and Woman; Beat Zen, Square Zen and Zen; This Is It; Psychotherapy East and West; The Two Hands of God; The Joyous Cosmology; and The Book: On the Taboo against Knowing Who You Are.
By 1960 Watts's radio series Way Beyond the West on Berkeley's KPFA had an avid following on the West Coast, and NET television began national broadcasts of the series Eastern Wisdom in Modern Life. The first season, recorded in the studios of KQED, a San Francisco television station, focused on the relevance of Buddhism, and the second, on Zen and the arts.
