Vladimir Kozlov

Psychology of Buddhism: Reflections on the Theory and Practice of Buddhism Vladimir Kozlov Russian edition

V. Kozlov has been fascinated by Buddhism for the last thirty years. Since 1997 he has been conducting retreats in many countries where Buddhism was significant as a religious system (Thailand, Laos, Burma, Malaysia, Mongolia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Republic of Buryatia). This book is a result of both theoretical research and deep immersion in the Vipassana, Tantric practices and psychotechnics of various Buddhist schools, which V. Kozlov has practiced in different countries around the world. Buddhism is the oldest of the three world's religions and the most complicated in terms of philosophical, psychological and mythological constructs. The psychology of Buddhism is the area of Buddhology which scrutinizes psychological properties, mechanisms and states of consciousness. These concepts are the constituents of Buddhism and not represented as a separate discipline. Especially interesting in this book is the practices of Buddhism described from the point of view of modern applied psychology. This book is for those who want to get a clear picture of the mythology, philosophy and psychology of Buddhism.
