First, I said that Freud and Jung are both candidates for bodhisattvahood, not Buddhahood. Ideally, of course, a bodhisattva would be neither anti-Semitic nor a cocaine addict. But no one is perfect, and I'd rather focus on the suffering these people eliminated than on their failure to be perfect. So my nomination of both of these fellows still stands.
