?Buddhism and Psychotherapy? by Manly P. Hall explores the intersections between Buddhist philosophy, particularly from the Mahayana tradition, and modern psychological concepts. Written to help non-Buddhists appreciate the deeper, often symbolic meanings behind Buddhist teachings, the book emphasizes the Bodhisattva Doctrine, which centers on compassion and the pursuit of enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. Hall delves into the psychological aspects of Buddhist practices, aiming to connect them with Western therapeutic approaches. The book is richly illustrated and includes descriptions of various Japanese temples and gardens, such as Ryoanji and Yakushiji, which serve as metaphors for inner healing and balance. Through these cultural symbols, Hall highlights the importance of mindfulness and meditation in achieving emotional and psychological healing.
