In the Western world, Buddhism has had a strong influence on modern New Age spirituality and other alternative spiritualities. This began with its influence on 20th century Theosophists such as [[Helena Blavatsky]], which were some of the first Westerners to take Buddhism seriously as a spiritual tradition. More recently, Buddhist [[meditation]] practices have influenced the development of modern psychology, particularly the practice of Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and other similar mindfulness based modalities. The influence of Buddhism on psychology can also be seen in certain forms of modern psychoanalysis. | In the Western world, Buddhism has had a strong influence on modern [[New Age]] spirituality and other alternative spiritualities.
