Archetype : A Story of Buddhist and Mormon Connections
Author
Hasson , Landon Blaine
Abstract
This undergraduate thesis is a contribution to the exploration of human nature and the work of comparative religion . Mormonism and Buddhism are briefly introduced and compared . An in depth treatment of the concept and language of archetype is offered , especially as shaped by Carl G . Jung . Archetypal analysis is presented as a useful instrument and paradigm for building bridges across worldviews , improving respect and appreciation for persons whose beliefs might be different than one’s own , and for adding value and new insights into existing beliefs that are held to be sacred and important . Mormonism and Buddhism are used for a case example of archetypal analysis . The author argues that an archetypal “lens” can aid in becoming aware of the intricacy and intimacy of the human experience . He suggests that the concept and language of archetype offers a prototypical pattern and model for answering the fundamental questions of similarities , differences , and the underlying reality from which our physical world has sprung .
