Indians forgetting ancient psychology: Dalai Lama

Kolkata, Jan 13: Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama Tuesday said the ancient Indian psychology is "highly developed" in comparison to modern one, but unfortunately the people of the country are forgetting their ancient school of thought. "We need more studies on the ancient Indian psychology. Modern psychology, compared to ancient Indian psychology, including Buddhist psychology, looks like kindergarten level. Ancient Indian psychology is highly developed," he said, delivering a lecture at the Presidency University here. Terming Indians as "gurujis" (teachers) in the field of ancient Indian psychology, the Dalai Lama acknowledged the role of the country in disseminating its tradition to his community. "Historically and traditionally, you (Indians) are our guru (teacher)... We learn everything from you...We are your chelas (disciples)," he said.
