<p>This book is a comprehensive analysis and overview of psychologist Carl Jung's ideas and commentaries on Buddhism. Provided here are all four of his main essays on Zen and Tibetan Buddhism and psychology, together with a published transcript of Jung's talk with the Japanese Zen master Shin'ichi Hisamatsu and the surrounding letters and symposium that followed their meeting. These essays and transcripts provide the basis for extensive analysis of Jung and Buddhism in a total of nine essays by religious scholars, psychologists, and Buddhists. Covered by the authors are Jung's theory of individuation, the concept of synchronicity, the Buddhist view of the self, Tantric Buddhism, Freud, psychoanalysis, and application of Jungian concepts to Buddhist ideas of the tathāgatagarbha (Buddha-essence), the Bodhisattva, and the figure of the ḍākiṇī.
