In this intriguing work, Hayao Kawai, Japan's first Jungian
psychoanalyst, examines his own personal experience of how the
Buddhism that was part of his culture gradually reacted to his
becoming a Jungian.Kawai reviews his method of psychotherapy and
looks at I in the context of Buddhism. His analysis provides a new
understanding of the human psyche from the perspective of someone
rooted in the East.Kawai begins by contemplating his personal koan:
""Am I a Buddhist and/or a Jungian?"" His honest reflections
parallel Jung's early skepticism about Buddhism and later his
positive regard for Buddha's teachings. He then relates how the
individuation process is symbolically and meaningfully revealed in
two philosophical and artistic picture series, one Eastern and one
Western.After exploring the Buddhist conception of the ego and the
self, which is the opposite of the Western view, Kawai expands
psychotherapy to include sitting in silence and holding
contradictions. He concludes that true integration of East and West
is both possible and impossible, but his work should help readers
deepen their understanding of this area of psychology and of
Eastern philosophy.
