Buddhism and psychedelic substances are historically connected in the United States. The relationship between the practice and study of Buddhism and the use of psychedelics is mutually beneficial in some cases. Yet, their interaction can also create obstacles to optimum Buddhist practice. This dissertation utilizes a comparative analysis between two related domains-Tantric Buddhism and ayahuasca shamanism-to better understand how psychedelics may and may not be productively applied in Buddhism, and to ascertain what relevance psychedelics have for the continual development of Buddhism in U.S. culture. Shamanism is of significant value when exploring this phenomenon because of its association with the spiritual use of psychedelic plants in ritualized settings toward positive results. Placing Buddhism and psychedelics in their shamanic frameworks leads to Tantric Buddhism, or what in certain contexts has been conceptualized as shamanic Buddhism, and forms of shamanism that use psychedelic plants in their practices, such as ayahuasca shamanism. A hermeneutic dialogue between Tantric Buddhism (as exemplified by the Nyingma school) and ayahuasca shamanism (as it arises in cross-cultural vegetalismo)-with particular focus on the ritual practices as they are accessible in today's world by Western practitioners-facilitates insight into how Tantric Buddhism and ayahuasca shamanism can be usefully integrated, which uncovers guidelines regarding steps to take to maximize the benefit and minimize the harm when using psychedelics to augment Buddhist practice. These procedures are related to the importance of preparation as well as the shamanic elements that are similar across tantric and ayahuasca rituals. Engaging this interplay can impact the development of psychedelic Buddhism in the United States by beginning to formalize a more cautious and ritualized approach to the use of psychedelics in a Buddhist context. This research also suggests ways that a shamanic approach to psychedelic Buddhism can inform the development of Buddhism in the West more broadly.
