Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism: Western and Eastern Paths to the Heart (Wisdom East-West Book)

An ancient Eastern spiritual discipline is reconciled with a contemporary Western psychological system. In this book Radmila Moacanin reconciles an ancient Eastern spiritual discipline with a contemporary Western psychological system. She touches on many of their major ideas and methods and finds that, although there are fundamental differences, both are vitally concerned with what Jung called 'the tremendous experiment of becoming conscious, ' successfully bridging the gap between our deepest yearnings for spiritual fulfilment and the demands of our mundane life. The author compares Tibetan Buddhism with Western psychology, and concludes that both systems are viable approaches to what Jung called "the tremendous experiment of becoming conscious."
