Ho Family Foundation I look around and I see these giant mountains and my hermit hut. All of this is too fantastic to be true. I look into the past and watch things that happened to me and to others; […] I am giving lectures at the Sorbonne, I am an artist, a reporter, a writer; images of backstages, newsrooms, boats, railways unfold like in a movie.

Only in the last thirty-five years has there been an increasing number of theses, journal articles, and other academic texts that have seriously addressed the developments of a Western Buddhism as opposed to Buddhism in the West.

  • The Buddha at Eranos
    Journal of Global Buddhism 2021, Vol.22 (1): 1–17 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4727549 www.globalbuddhism.org ISSN: 1527-6457 (online) © The author(s) Research Article The Buddha at Eranos Oliver Knox University College London The Eranos conferences between 1933 and 1939 brought together psychologists and scholars of Eastern religions to take part in annual meetings that aspired to provide a “meeting place between East and West” (Hakl 2013: 25). At these meetings a group of international European scholars developed a shared understanding of Buddhist doctrine and meditation that has become widespread, namely, the notion that Buddhism is, first and foremost, a noetic science the principal concern of which is the transformation of human psychology. Their interpretations were the catalyst for the uptake of Buddhism in the American counterculture of the 1950s and 60s that, in turn, spawned a host of psychotherapies seeking to integrate these so-called “Buddhist” practices into their therapeutic systems. Keywords: Buddhism, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis Buddhism as Psychology: Some Preliminary Remarks n December of 2019, Erik Sand published Imagining the East, in which he outlined how two Buddhas emerged in Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. One was the Buddha of the Theosophists, a teacher of esoteric spiritualism and occultism, a “Mahatma”— IMadame Blavatsky’s term for a “great teacher”—who materialized esoteric texts at will to his initiates. The other Buddha belonged to the Orientalists: a rationalist, atheist, philosopher who promoted secular ethics and scientific method. Needless to say, these two Buddhas were at odds, and, retrospectively, seem to reflect internal debates within nineteenth- and twentieth-century Western society more than the religion they purportedly represented.1 1 The dichotomy implied by Sand and others acts as a helpful explanatory tool.

  • The Autobiography of Christmas Humphreys
    ROUTLEDGE REVIVALS Both Sides of the Circle The Autobiography of Christmas Humphreys Christmas Humphreys Published in association with The Buddhist Society Trust Routledge Revivals Both Sides of the Circle First published in 1978, Christmas Humphrey’s autobiography presents the fascinating history of a life rich and varied in both private and in public. Spanning seven decades it touches on many events of historical interest in which he was personally involved. Among them the abdication of Edward VIII, the Japanese War Trials and his time with the Dalai Lama after his flight from Tibet. The author gives a graphic portrait of life behind the Bar and on the Bench – of what it is like to prosecute and to defend, and of the immense difficulties which face a judge when passing sentence. Here too are recollections of many famous cases of the twentieth century, and of the many murder trials in which he appeared as prosecuting counsel or judge. Of equal interest is his fifty years’ of work in the field of English Buddhism. In 1924 he and his wife founded the Buddhist Society, which would become hugely influential in the spread of Buddhism throughout the West. Both Sides of the Circle is rich in humour and humanity. There is the joyful account of the author’s Edwardian boyhood followed by the tragedy of his brother’s death in World War 1, which led to the awakening of his interest in Buddhism and Theosophy. He speaks freely of his encounters with the Dalai Lama, with D.T. Suzuki, with Jung and with the Royal families of Thailand, Sikkim and Nepal, as well as his travels throughout the Europe and in the Orient.
