"'The Seven Sermons To The Dead, Written By Basilides in Alexandria, the City where the East Toucheth the West'
by Carl G. Jung
Forward by Chuan Zhi Shakya
Carl Jung was, and continues to be, a tremendous influence on matters of spiritual consciousness in the western hemisphere. He was deeply interested in the psychological and spiritual underpinnings of Zen Buddhism and other eastern religions and for many years collaborated with Zen scholars and priests such as D. T. Suzuki. Between them, an amalgam of psychology and spirituality took shape that has, to this day, helped give Western Zen it's own unique flavor. Carl Jung wrote numerous articles, editorials, prefaces to Zen, Taoist, and Yogic literature (e.g., The Secret of the Golden Flower, A Chinese Book of Life), as well as books relating to the spiritual process in mankind (e.g., Alchemical Studies, 1967). Much about mysticism can still today be best understood through Jung's writings, writings that reflect remarkable insight and empathy."
