Abstract | Buddhist translators and teachers commonly use the term ‘ego’ to depict and elucidate Buddhist concepts. But when we examine how they use the term it is found to be poorly defi ned and of many divergent meanings. In the psychological sense, according to the standard Freudian interpretation, ego has a very clear, specifi c meaning, which is very different to the way people commonly understand. At the same time as Freud was popularizing his theories, another school of psychology called Gestalt also had an alternative ego theory. In this paper will be analyzed the meaning of ‘ego’ as Freud intended it, how it is commonly interpreted by non-psychologists, and how the Gestalt school understood it. Each defi nition will be compared to Buddhism to fi nd the common and divergent points. Finally will be shown how the Gestalt interpretation fi ts with dependent origination. |
