Statistical normality is perfectly compatible with a high degree of folly and wickedness In so far as he is a psychotherapist, the Oriental philosopher tries to help statistically normal individuals to become normal in the other, more fundamental sense of the word This process of intellectual and psycho-physical adjustment to the Nature of Things is the supreme doctrine of Zen Buddhism, which Dr Benoit discusses in the light of Western psychological theory and Western psychiatric practise This is a book that should be read by everyone who aspires to know who he is and what he can do to acquire such self-knowledge. From the Foreword by Aldous Huxley. The Supreme Doctrine is a cogent statement of what Zen thought had to offer the practising Western psychiatrist this is a book which assuredly still speaks for itself. T. H.

He has understood their secret and made it his own. He invites us most searchingly to do the same.--London TimesMan cannot live fully until he has considered the great questions of life. It is for this reason that we turn to Western psychology and metaphysics for help in solving our problems. The approach of psychology and psychotherapy is based on statistical normality, or the behavior of the greatest number. In an effort to conform, we focus on our problems rather than our possibilities, emulating a norm that falls drastically short of our full capacity for development. Oriental thought, and Zen thought in particular, seeks to activate the true potential of men and women--to transform our lives, and thereby enable us to shed our problems and sufferings.The Supreme Doctrine applies the essence of Oriental wisdom to the pursuit of self-knowledge and transcendence. The first step in a holistic psychology is to begin examining the true state of man, rather than its aberrations. In so doing, we can give new direction and purpose to our lives.The author does not advocate conversion to the Eastern thought, but rather an integration of East and West, wherein Western psychological thinking and reasoning can be enriched and clarified by Oriental wisdom.DR. BENOIT has discussed the 'supreme doctrine' of Zen Buddhism in the light of Western psychological theory and Western psychiatric practice. This is a book that should be read by everybody who aspires to know who he is and what he can do to acquire self-knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49521506517265,"sku":"GOR001322557","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50160671457553,"sku":"CIN0892812729VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50227096224017,"sku":"CIN0892812729G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374686540049,"sku":"CIN0892812729A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52389822365969,"sku":"GOR011009117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0892812729.jpg?v=1751234332"},{"product_id":"interior-realization-book-hubert-benoit-9780877286240","title":"Interior Realization ++","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50458150404369,"sku":"CIN0877286248G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51316295696657,"sku":"CIN0877286248VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0877286248.jpg?v=1751171505"},{"product_id":"supreme-doctrine-book-hubert-benoit-9780670000432","title":"The Supreme Doctrine","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50459834876177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50459835629841,"sku":"CIN0670000434G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0670000434.jpg?v=1751073508"},{"product_id":"supreme-doctrine-book-hubert-benoit-9781898723141","title":"The Supreme Doctrine","description":"A classic text on what Zen thought had to offer the practising Western psychiatrist.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50942632788241,"sku":"CIN1898723141G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51166590796049,"sku":"CIN1898723141VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51197539647761,"sku":"GOR006854397","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51252913766673,"sku":"GOR004520463","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1898723141.jpg?v=1751186707"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-hubert-benoit.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
