«Oriental wisdom and mysticism have much to tell us despite speaking their own inimitable language. Both should make us remember the similar goods that our culture possesses and that we have already forgotten, and direct our attention to what we have put aside as insignificant, that is, the very destiny of the inner man.
These words of C. G. Jung summarize well what has been called his "journey to the East." This edition brings together his main texts on oriental religion and civilization, an encounter and a confrontation that were a stimulus for the development of analytical psychology. They are commentaries and prologues to the Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation and the Tibetan Book of the Dead, or also to the works of Daisetz T. Suzuki or Heinrich Zimmer, and especially to the I Ching, the Chinese wisdom and oracular book.
