Buddhism : The Religion of No-Religion
"Although Alan Watts' famous voice and happy laughter are missing now, his penetrating vision of Buddhism remains, and his lectures become brilliant prose in book form." —Publishers WeeklyBuddhism: The Religion of No-Religion presents six powerful essays by Alan Watts, the guru for an entire generation of 20th century thinkers, writers and poets.Watts was an engaging speaker and an icon of America's Beat and Counterculture movements.His friends included Aldous Huxley, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Cage and Joseph Campbell. In this book, Watts explores all aspects of Buddhism—from its roots in ancient India to the explosion of interest in Zen and Tibetan Buddhist thought in the West. The fascinating topics covered in this book include:Finding a Middle Way: How a spiritual path to awakening is formed not just by avoiding extreme indulgence but extreme denial as wellThe Religion of No-Religion: How Buddhism eschews any particular dogma and instead acts as a guide to understanding oneselfBuddhism as Dialogue: How Zen teaches us that we are one with the world and so as we learn to navigate the world, we must also learn about ourselvesWatts traces the early beginnings of Buddhism, outlines the differences between Buddhism and other religions, and reviews the Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path.Buddhism: The Religion of No-Religion is a valuable reminder of the peace to be found by looking inward.

What distinguishes a religion from a substitute religion?
A religion is typically characterized by a belief in a higher power or powers, a set of sacred texts or teachings, and a system of rituals and practices. It often provides a framework for understanding the meaning and purpose of life, as well as guidelines for moral behavior. A substitute religion, on the other hand, may lack some or all of these elements, but still fulfills a similar role in providing meaning, community, and a sense of purpose for its followers. Substitute religions may include belief systems, ideologies, or even activities such as sports or political movements that fulfill some of the same functions as traditional religions.
-
Is substitute religion the same as religion replacement?
No, substitute religion and religion replacement are not the same. Substitute religion refers to alternative belief systems or practices that individuals adopt in addition to their traditional religion, while religion replacement involves completely abandoning one's original religion in favor of a new belief system. Substitute religion allows individuals to incorporate elements of different faiths into their lives, whereas religion replacement involves a complete shift in religious identity.
-
What is the difference between religion and substitute religion?
Religion refers to a formal system of beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around a higher power or spiritual force, often involving organized institutions and communities. Substitute religion, on the other hand, refers to non-traditional belief systems or practices that serve as a replacement for traditional religion. Substitute religions may include alternative spiritual practices, self-help movements, or other forms of belief and community that fulfill similar roles to traditional religion for their followers. While religion is often associated with established traditions and institutions, substitute religion may be more individualistic and diverse in its manifestations.
-
Is Buddhism a religion or a critique of religion?
Buddhism can be seen as both a religion and a critique of religion. It is considered a religion because it involves beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. However, Buddhism also critiques traditional religious concepts such as the existence of a creator god and the idea of a permanent self. It emphasizes personal spiritual development, mindfulness, and the pursuit of enlightenment through self-awareness and compassion, which can be seen as a critique of certain aspects of organized religion.

Roman Religion
Examining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion.The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised.It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications.Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity.Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world.Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

'Parents or religion?'
Both parents and religion play important roles in shaping a person's beliefs, values, and behaviors. Parents are often the first influencers in a child's life, providing guidance, support, and discipline. Religion, on the other hand, can offer a sense of community, moral framework, and spiritual guidance. Ultimately, the impact of parents versus religion may vary depending on the individual and their personal experiences.
-
Is religion bad?
It is not accurate to categorize religion as inherently bad or good, as it is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human culture. Religion can provide individuals with a sense of community, purpose, and moral guidance. However, it has also been used to justify violence, discrimination, and oppression throughout history. Ultimately, the impact of religion depends on how it is practiced and interpreted by individuals and institutions.
-
Who invented religion?
It is difficult to pinpoint a single individual who invented religion as it has evolved over thousands of years across different cultures and societies. The origins of religion can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Indus Valley peoples. These early societies developed complex belief systems and rituals to explain the mysteries of the natural world and provide meaning to human existence. Religion has since continued to evolve and adapt to the changing needs and beliefs of different communities throughout history.
-
Is religion reprehensible?
The question of whether religion is reprehensible is subjective and depends on individual beliefs and experiences. Some people may find religion to be a source of comfort, community, and moral guidance, while others may view it as a source of division, intolerance, and harm. It is important to recognize that religion, like any belief system, can be used for both positive and negative purposes, and it is crucial to approach the topic with an open mind and respect for differing perspectives.
