Jung, Buddhism, and the Incarnation of Sophia

“That Henry Corbin was one of the great religious thinkers of the 20th century will be apparent to all who delve into this brilliant collection of his previously unpublished writings on Carl Jung and Buddhism, the gnostic Sophia, and Sufism. Corbin’s insights into the profound roots of Jung’s teachings make this essential reading for those who ponder the ties that bind psychology and spirituality and all the great religious traditions to one another.” * Jeff Zaleski, editor and publisher of Parabola magazine *
“Jung, Buddhism, and the Incarnation of Sophia is where two astounding explorers of the inner cosmos, Henri Corbin and Carl Jung, meet in their insights–an intriguing octagon of mirrors surrounding the illuminated soul.” * Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., author of The Sacred Network, DNA of the Gods *
“Delivered on all accounts in offering me valuable insights into the complexities of the psycho-spiritual nature of Gnostic and Buddhist practices, as well as filling my coffers with a simplicity that inspires a more contemplative approach in the deepening of my own spiritual and philosophical beliefs.” * Robin Fennelly, Spiral Nature Magazine *
