ABSTRACT
Although Buddhism was known in the West in previous centuries (Fields 1992; App 1997; Droit 2003), there has been a growing interest in it among Western psychologists in the twentieth century, especially since Carl G. Jung’s essays on Eastern religions. Publications on psychology and Buddhism have enormously accumulated in the last few decades. They are, however, mostly practice oriented, and as a result, what is meant by Buddhism varies in accordance with the kind of practice to which each author has devoted himself for many years. It may be Zen, Tibetan esotericism, mindfulness, Nianfo or others.
