Highly recommended
These CDs are highly recommended for all seekers. Alan Watts had an amazing mind and an amazing abiilty to explain the principles of Hinduism and Buddhism in simple, yet insightful, terms that everyone can understand.

In Beauty of Banality
Turkish director Nuri Belge Ceylon has an amazing ability to transform the most ordinary, banal human incidents into significant events. This, coupled with the similar ability to capture the beauty of perfectly ordinary places on earth, makes this an extremely pleasurable viewing experience. In The Wild Pear Tree you enter the world of Sinan Karasu, a young man recently graduated from the university as a teacher but with goals to be a writer. Much of the movie involves him finding sponsors or the means to publish his work. His frustration is of a writer trying to find an audience, one who has greater awareness and ambitions, but is trapped in a very provincial, small village. At one point in his efforts to find a sponsor he is told by another author, paraphrasing, “describing the banal enriches it, because nothing is as ordinary as it seems.” This is the theme of this movie.
It is a long movie, running over three hours. The movie doesn’t change camera every five seconds and there is no “action” to wake the audience up. The stunning beauty of ordinary people, in ordinary places, going through ordinary experiences, is engrossing, and very much recommended.
