The thing about budhism that realy impresses me is that it´s core philosophy (when budhism is stripped from all it´s hinduist influences) shows some striking similarity´s with sigmund freud´s theory´s about the human psyche.

You have to realise that freud, no matter how flawed his theory´s are, was already way ahead of his time (one of the first people who put brain cells under the microscope).

Now, budhism arose about 2500 years ago, more than 2400 years even, before freud laid the foundations of the science we today, call psychology :shock: :shock: :shock: .
