Lecture abstr act:
In the 1910s\, Kure Shūzō\, the “father of Japanese psy chiatry\,” led a team that investigated throughout Japan traditional healin g practices. In the 1918 report he coauthored\, he advocated for state inte rvention to eradicate such practices at Buddhist temples. In the decades th at followed\, government policies pushed the mentally ill away from temples and monks and toward mental hospitals and psychiatrists. Yet\, after 1945\ , Zen and Pure Land Buddhist ideas and practices shaped indigenous psychoth erapies. To illustrate how\, this talk focuses on Morita and Naikan therapi es. It shows that\, unlike mindfulness in North America\, Buddhist-influenc ed psychotherapies in Japan attributed emotional suffering to self-centered ness and emphasized stronger social relations as a cure.

About the John Howes Lecture in Japanese Studies:
John Howes was a founding member of UBC’s Department of Asian Stud ies\, which he joined in 1961 after earning his doctorate from Columbia Uni versity. During his 30 years of active teaching and research\, Professor Ho wes was at the forefront of Canada-Japan cultural\, educational and people- to-people relations and inspired countless young Canadians to dedicate thei r careers and lives to the Canada-Japan relationship in one way or another. In 2012\, a number of UBC faculty\, staff\, and Professor Howes’ devoted f ormer students came together to launch an endowment in his honour. The fund supports the John Howes Lecture in Japanese Studies\, an an nual public lecture for prominent scholars from around the world to speak t o the university community and alumni on topics in Japanese Studies with a focus on Humanities. Dr. Howes passed away peacefully on February 4th\, 201 7\, at the age of 92.
