ABSTRACT
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) is one of the few Western psychologists who most early recognized and appreciated the psychological nature and value of an Eastern religion, Buddhism. The seeds he sowed in Western soil more than half a century ago were growing up as two trends from the late 1980s to the 1990s: the emergence of Buddhist Jungian analysts (Spiegelman and Mokusen 1985; Young-Eisendrath 1996; Odajnyk 1998) and the development of a discipline that is concerned with the comparison of Jung’s analytical psychology and Buddhism (Coward 1985; Meckel and Moore 1992; Clarke 1994).
