Mehr zum Buch

Western psychology is engaged in an ever deepening investigation of the functioning of the human mind, the development of personality, and the interaction and integration of the body-mind complex. Reflections of Mind explores the remarkable Tibetan Buddhist approach to these concerns. From a first-hand point of view, it gives fresh insight into both Buddhist and Western understanding of human consciousness. Such well-known psychologists as Claudio Naranjo, Gay Luce, and Charles Tart combine personal experiences in Tibetan Buddhist practices with professional training in Western therapeutic methods to offer a unique perspective on current trends in Western psychology.Reflections of Mind describes modern experiences of the vast psychological expertise of Tibetan Buddhism, detailing a wealth of practical tools handed down for centuries by the spiritual traditions of Tibet. As the authors attest, these techniques are proving to be greatly innovative in Western therapy. An excellent, comprehensive introductory article by Lama Tarthang Tulku provides substantial guidance for direct understanding of the depth and potential of one's own mind.
