Dreams of Power:

Tibetan Buddhism, and the Western Imagination
Front Cover
1 Review
Continuum International Publishing Group, 1993 - Religion - 162 pages
An account of the impact of Tibetan Buddhism upon the Western imagination, which deploys a wide range of sources and draws together diverse strands in surveying the extensive literature of travel and exploration, Jungian interpretations of Tibetan themes and the self-projection of Tibetan Buddhism within contemporary Western culture. This study in cultural psychology places the East-West exchange of spiritual ideas within social and psychological contexts. Bishop's other titles include "The Myth of Shangri-La" (1989).
