Abstract
Part II of this paper enumerates four additional attributes of mind derived from Zen that could enrich the training of a psychotherapist. These includ e: training and modulation of the therapist's attention, the centrality of the concept of "here and now," what it is and is not, and the natural unpre ssured emergence of compassion as a manifestation of the therapist's nature .
