‘So you see, we have something here which I will call not philosophy, except in the most ancient sense of basic curiosity. I prefer to call these disciplines ways of liberation. Ways of liberation from Maya. And the following of them does not depend on believing in anything, in obeying anything, or on doing any specific rituals although rituals are included for certain purposes. It is a purely experimental approach to life. It is something like a person who say has defective eyesight and is seeing spots and all sorts of illusions. Going to an ophthalmologist to correct his vision. Buddhism is therefore basically a correction of psychic vision. To be disenthralled by the game of Maya. Not incidentally, to regard the Maya as something evil, but as a good thing of which one can have too much. And therefore get spiritual and psychic indigestion, from which we all suffer.’ – Alan Watts
