A Quote by Sir William Hamilton on psychotherapy, enlightenment, buddhism, and meditation

Many people have chosen psychotherapy over enlightenment.  Someone asked Anagarike Munindra, a great Buddhist meditation master in India, why it was easier for Asians to attain enlightenment.  His reply was that, "Westerners are doing psychotherapy."  

William Hamilton (1788 - 1856)
