I was just wondering everyones opinion on this. Whenever I read a teaching from the Buddha about the mind, such as 'Attachments', or being 'Mindful' of your thoughts, it makes me think about Psychology so often. And Buddhism is much older then Freud and the others. Anyone think we should start a movement naming Siddhartha as the Founding Father Of Psychology? The last was a joke...
