I love that more and more of these types of articles comparing and discussing the links between Eastern Wisdom and theories of psychology, they tend to overlap very nicely in general and some are nearly interchangeable in terms of intervention. Although it still amazes me the lack of understanding some of these papers have for Eastern Wisdom. More straightforward emic comparisons are necessary, most notably in that many of the more esoteric and phenomenological aspects of Eastern and in particular nondual theologies (e.g., Zen, Advaita Vedanta) are very difficult to translate through language and particularly through a naturalistic epistemology which is more than predominant in Western science as an institution.

Thanks for sharing, this is the sort of philosophical underlabouring that is required for a truly integrated field.
