1. Dr Maung Maung Lwin’s Tipiţka Psychological Resources
“Mind is all that the Buddha
taught.” This Myanmar proverb sums up the content of this website. As I said
elsewhere, the Buddha’s teachings are about our minds and behaviors. The Buddha
was the first to show that we can develop our minds and behaviors to perfection.
This possibility has been declared as the developmental process of eight
psychological phenomena (Aţţhańgiko
Maggo) in his very first discourse, Dhammacakkapavattana Suttam. Moreover, the
Buddha also taught how to implement this developmental process in his
self-deconstructing discourse, Mahāsatipaţţhāna
Suttam. These and other mind concepts and methods will surely
evidence the Buddha as the first ultimate transformational psychologist.
As
part of Myanmar Government’s initiative, a team of Myanmar intellectuals has
begun the Tipiţaka English Translation Project under the Board Of Editors. The
translations you will find here can be regarded as versions as reliable and
professional as ideal translations can be.

The
following is an orientation statement from this website:
‘The Journal of
Transpersonal Psychology has developed as an
independent vehicle for the study and open communication of transpersonal
experiences, concepts, and practices. It accepts as its province the full range
of human development, especially those elements that are personal as well as
transpersonal, reaching through, across, and beyond the human personality.
As
a major orientation in psychology, a transpersonal perspective exercises both
objective and subjective modes of knowing. It connects contemporary educational,
scientific, and clinical methodologies with personal, social, and spiritual
understanding. It is concerned with full human awareness, the integration of
psychological and spiritual experience, and the transcendence of self.’
This print journal contributes greatly to the cause of Buddhist psychology and psychotherapy. Its board of editors includes Daniel Goleman, an abhidhamma psychologist, and Professor Herbert V. Guenther, the author of ‘Philosophy and Psychology In Abhidharma’, one of the earliest Buddhist scholars who appreciate abhidhamma psychology. Daniel Goleman contributed articles on abhidhamma psychology to this journal, and is best-selling author of ‘Emotional Intelligence’. Another Buddhist psychotherapist, Dr Mark Epstein, is also a contributor to this journal.
