Description

C. G. Jung's lectures on the psychology of yoga and meditation offer a unique insight into the application of his comparative method and personal development. Delivered between 1938 and 1940, these lectures explore the parallels between Jung's psychological technique of active imagination and the meditative practices of different yogic and Buddhist traditions. Jung draws on three key texts to introduce his audience to Eastern meditation: Patañjali's Yoga Sûtra, the Amitâyur-dhyâna-sûtra from Chinese Pure Land Buddhism, and the Shrî-chakra-sambhâra Tantra. This collection provides a rare window into Jung's thought and a vital key to understanding his later work, featuring an incisive introduction by Martin Liebscher.
