Today's podcast features Alan Watts talking about Mahayana Buddhism, Nirvana, memory, and death. As always, Watts formulates complicated ideas in fun ways. For example, about dying he says, "Always surround death with joyous rites because this is an opportunity for the greatest of all experiences when you can finally let go because you know there's nothing else to do." And when he talks about Nirvana he says, "The ordinary world and the Nirvana world they are the same worlds. But what makes the difference is the point of view."
