Additionally, the author speaks to the concerns of psychotherapists and any health care professionals who work with their patients' states of mind. The collection includes teachings on-

Buddhist concepts of mind, ego, and intelligence, and how these ideas can be employed in working on oneself and with others

Reviews for The Sanity We Are Born With: A Buddhist Approach to Psychology

ChOgyam Trungpa was the first Buddhist master to present Buddhism in a psychological language that spoke directly to the Western mind. This highly recommended volume, which brings together his penetrating views on Buddhist and Western psychology, will be of great interest to psychotherapists, students of Dharma, and anyone who is concerned with the relationship between the native sun of awakened wisdom within us and the psychological clouds that obscure its light. --John Welwood, author of Towards a Psychology of Awakening
