The Essence of Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism illuminates two very different yet remarkably similar traditions. Radmila Moacanin touches on many of their major ideas: the collective unconscious and karma, archetypes and deities, the analyst and the spiritual friend, and mandalas. Within Tibetan Buddhism she focuses on tantra and relates its emphasis on spiritual transformation, also a major concern of Jung. This expanded edition includes new material on the integration of the two traditions, and the importance of these paths of the heart in today's unsteady world. In this book Radmila Moacanin reconciles an ancient Eastern spiritual discipline with a contemporary Western psychological system. She touches on many of their major ideas and methods and finds that, although there are fundamental differences, both are vitally concerned with what Jung called 'the tremendous experiment of becoming conscious, ' successfully bridging the gap between our deepest yearnings for spiritual fulfilment and the demands of our mundane life.
