🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A

Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim (September 19, 2021)

🔹Question: Today my question is about some of Sunim’s teaching that is very similar or overlaps with Sigmund Freud’s structural theory of personality especially the period from birth to 3 years of child’s life. According to both teachings, a child develops the unconscious mind or majority of personality traits during that period through the relationship with their mother. And that influence becomes a personality affecting a person’s entire life and future behaviors. Buddha’steachings have been with us for thousands of years while Freud’s idea has been only like for 100 years. Right? It’d be wonderful to know from whom this theory came first between Buddha and Freud?
