“Modern Western psychology has rejected yoga as a valid form of psychology. Yoga is dismissed
as yet anther version of Eastern metaphysics and mysticism. But there is perhaps one promising
point of contact between Yoga and modern psychology; namely, an apparent parallel between the
modern psychology of memory and the Yoga notion of karma. This is especially notable if a
comparison is made of the conception of karma found in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and the views of
the contemporary psychologist Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. For both the ancient Yoga of
Patanjali and the modern psychology of Freud and Jung, memory, motivation, and the
unconscious are intimately intertwined.”

Cozort, Daniel. “Cutting the roots of virtue:” Tsongkhapa on the results of anger. Article
available online: http://jbe.la.psu.edu/2/cozorabs.html.
Abstract: Anger is the most powerful of the kle’sas that not only “plant seeds” for suffering but
also “cut the roots of virtue” for periods of up to a thousand aeons per instance. This article
examines and assesses the exegesis by Tsongkhapa, founder of the Tibetan Gelukba order, of
Indian sources on the topic of anger. It argues that despite Tsongkhapa’s many careful
qualifications he may not be successful in avoiding the conclusion that if the sutras are to be
accepted literally, there almost certainly will be persons for whom liberation from samsaara is
precluded.
