The Supreme Doctrine: Psychological Studies in Zen Thought

Hubert Benoît

4.9/5 (22727 ratings)

Description:Dr Benoit has reason to be confident that the ancient Zen masters would have given him their imprimatur. He's understood their secret & made it his own. He invites us most searchingly to do the same.--London Times One cannot live fully without considering the great questions of life. For this reason we turn to Western psychology & metaphysics for help in solving problems. The approach of psychology & psychotherapy is based on statistical normality, the behavior of the greatest number. In order to conform, we focus on problems rather than possibilities, emulating a norm that falls drastically short of our full capacity for development. Oriental thought, Zen thought in particular, seeks to activate our true potential to transform our lives, & thereby enable us to shed our problems & sufferings. The Supreme Doctrine applies the essence of Oriental wisdom to the pursuit of self-knowledge & transcendence. The first step in a holistic psychology is to begin examining humanity's true state rather than its aberrations. So doing, we can give new direction & purpose to our lives. The author does not advocate conversion to Eastern thought, but rather an integration of East & West, wherein Western psychological reasoning can be enriched & clarified by Oriental wisdom. Benoit has discussed the supreme doctrine of Zen Buddhism in the light of Western psychological theory & Western psychiatric practice. This is a book that should be read by all seeking self-knowledge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
