Para isso, serão analisados detalhadamente três aspetos fundamentais. O primeiro aspecto refere-se à motivação de Jung para o diálogo com as religiões do oriente em geral, fundada num diagnóstico criterioso sobre a crise espiritual do ocidente e sua tradição cristã. O segundo aspecto refere-se ao diálogo direto estabelecido com o pensamento budista em suas diversas vertentes, em especial o budismo Mahāyāna, no contexto do orientalismo prevalente na Europa de sua época. E o terceiro e último aspecto, refere-se às semelhanças e diferenças entre os processos de transformação propostos, de um lado, pela psicologia analítica através da noção de individuação e, de outro, pelo budismo Mahāyāna através do chamado o caminho do Bodhisattva - bodhisattvamārga. Dessa forma, com base nos estudos sobre a psicologia analítica e sobre o budismo Mahāyāna, identifica-se que, de um lado, este último serviu de algum forma de apoio para o primeiro e, de outro lado, ambos os sistemas apresentam propostas afins no que tange aos objetivos de uma transformação espiritual. Com este estudo proposto apontaremos que elas são de alguma forma convergentes e que se enriquecem com o diálogo mútuo. / This dissertation seeks to elucidate the investigation of the relationship between analytical psychology, founder Carl Gustav Jung, and Buddhism, in its slope known as Mahāyāna Buddhism. For this, three key aspects will be analyzed in detail. The first aspect concerns Jung's motivation for dialogue with Eastern religions in general, based on a careful diagnosis of the spiritual crisis of the West and its Christian tradition. The second aspect refers to the direct dialogue established with Buddhist thought in its various aspects, especially Mahāyāna Buddhism, in the context of orientalism prevalent in Europe of its time. And the third and final aspect refers to the similarities and differences between the processes of transformation proposed on the one hand by analytic psychology through the notion of individuation and, on the other hand, Mahāyāna Buddhism through the so-called Bodhisattva-bodhisattvamārga path . Thus, on the basis of the studies on analytical psychology and Māhāyana Buddhism, one identifies that, on the one hand, the latter served some form of support for the former, and on the other, both systems present similar proposals in the Which relates to the goals of a spiritual transformation. With this proposed study we will point out that they are somehow convergent and that they are enriched by mutual dialogue.

This thesis, a comparison of the concepts of buddha-nature and dao-nature in the medieval period (from the 5th to the 10th centuries) of China, presents a historical investigation of the formation of the idea that insentient things are able to possess buddha-nature in medieval Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism. In Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism, the concept of buddha-nature was originally defined as a potential possessed by sentient beings that enabled them to achieve buddhahood. From the 6th century, the concept was reinterpreted within the Chinese Buddhist tradition so that insentient things were also able to possess buddha-nature. Recent scholarship has pointed out that the idea of insentient things having buddha-nature is a combination of Buddhist and Daoist ideas based on the concept of the all-pervading Dao found in the Zhuangzi 莊子. In this sense, buddha-nature seems to be interpreted as equivalent with the Dao of Daoism. My project suggests that the reinterpretation of buddha-nature in association with the insentient realm should be elucidated in a more nuanced way than the idea of all-pervasiveness of the Dao. A historical, doctrinal investigation of the intellectual formation of the concept of buddha-nature in Chinese Mahāyāna Buddhism demonstrates a new interpretation of buddha-nature in the context of insentient things having buddha-nature. Further, through a historical investigation of intellectual exchange between Buddhism and Daoism, some evidence provided in this project illustrates that the idea of insentient things having dao-nature in Daoism was not inherited from Buddhism, but drawn from Daoist tradition. This new perspective is different from that of some contemporary scholars who have claimed that the idea of insentient things having dao-nature was borrowed from Chinese Buddhism. A chronological investigation of the discussion of nature in Chinese thought demonstrates that the idea of insentient things having buddha-nature incorporates earlier Daoist traditions found in Arcane Study. / Dissertation / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
