A pioneer in introducing Buddhism to the West, Trungpa Rinpoche had a distinct knack for breaking down the cultural, historical, and ideological barriers that make any such transmission so difficult today.

Trungpa Rinpoche was raised in a monastic tradition

The Establishment of a Pure Monastic Tradition in the West. MY TEACHER, THE Vidyadhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, is known as one of the pivotal figures in presenting the buddhadharma in the West. Trungpa Rinpoche was raised in a monastic tradition. Identified at an early age as a reincarnation of the tenth Trungpa, he was taken from his family and brought to the Surmang monasteries for training. Having grown up in a monastery, he remained a monk when the Chinese invaded Tibet, forcing him to flee to India.

In wide-ranging essays and interviews, contributors from the fields of Buddhist practice and scholarship, philosophy, the arts, and literature examine the work of a modern genius—the Tibetan Buddhist meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (19391987). A pioneer in introducing Buddhism to the West, Trungpa Rinpoche had a distinct knack for breaking down the cultural, historical, and ideological barriers that make any such transmission so difficult today. His skill at communicating in a living language to Western students, while remaining faithful to the traditional origins of Buddhism, was paired with an understanding of the modern world of unusual relevance. As a result, his activities in a wide range of areas—including psychology, education, theater, poetry, visual arts, translation, publishing, interreligious dialogue, the creation of a path of spiritual warriorship, and the founding of the first Buddhist university in North America—offer penetrating insights into the meaning of Buddhism for our world and our culture. This anthology is a testimony to the continuing influence of his unique qualities and work as a revitalizing force in spheres both spiritual and secular.

There is something for everyone to enjoy in this wonderful book. Some of the more academic pieces I found rather difficult reading, but that is certainly no reason to give the book a pass. There are also many wonderful accounts of personal experience of knowing and interacting with Trungpa, his unorthodoxy and his teachings.

After years of hearing all the controversy surrounding Chogyam Trungpa I chose to read this anthology to see what I could learn for myself. I was astounded by how much of what Trungpa taught has extended thread-like into teachings extending beyond his own students, into many New Age teachers concepts as well. Regarding controversy, I should admit I have always found it odd that people expect yogis to be other than human; it seems to me that no matter how highly we are developed spiritually, as long as we are in these human bodies, we are subject to the potential for human failings. In truth, I think we need to be able to accept both the light and dark in ourselves, in our teachers and in the world around us. When it comes to Trungpa Rinpoche, he put it all out there with no attempt to hide his humanness. After reading this wonderful anthology of essays it occurs to me that was the point; I believe his whole life was a teaching, a powerful example to the world that (for lack of better expression from this non-Buddhist) we are all both sacred and profane.

... and one of the 20th century's spiritual supernova's. Chogyam Trungpa stories need to be there for future students to have any fragment of an idea of what it was like to be in his presence and hear his teachings.

Wonderful book about the most unusual of the great enlightened masters to teach on American soil.

For the person who is asking "who was this guy", this is a good starting point. Chungyam Trungpa is vast, deep and yet light-hearted. This anthology gives you a view of him from many perspectives. I've just started into the book and find it fasciniting.

In brief, this book is chockful of great ideas about what Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche--the late transplanter of Tibetan Buddhism to the West--was doing and teaching... what he might have thought he was doing in the bigger picture and how he did it. If you are interested in questions about why the ancient path of Tibetan Buddhism is of timely value in our world, and what is the true heart of this tradition... you must read this book. Many insightful people who had contact with VCTR make efforts her to put their understanding and experience of him in a nutshell, and the result is, well, enlightening.
