Autograph letter signed (‘C.G. Jung’) to Rivkah Shärf, [Bollingen], 6 June 1960
In German. 2 pages, 210 x 148mm. Headed paper.
On Jung’s dislike of Zen, a year before his death. Jung denigrates humans’ ambition for super humanity: ‘I am only interested in how I can live properly as a human being. This is difficult enough for me, so that I have no time left for any additional koans. I find the recitation of sutras unattractive. Like Indian philosophy, Zen appears medieval to me and, at least for a Western person, hardly desirable.’ He requests Cuban Bellinda cigars from his correspondent, comments on his new status as honorary citizen of Küsnacht, and recounts his successful birthday celebrations in Zürich.
