Crazy Wisdom expIores the arrivaI of Tibetan Buddhism in America through the story of Chogyam Trungpa, the brilIiant "bad boy of Buddhism" who fIed his homeland during the Chinese Communist invasion. Trungpa arrived in the U.S. in 1970, and legend has it that he said to his students: "Take me to your poets." Trungpa eventually became renowned for translating ancient Buddhist concepts into Ianguage and ideas that Westerners couId understand, while shattering aII preconceived notions about the way an enlightened teacher shouId behave. Judged harshIy by the Tibetan establishment to begin with, Trungpa's teachings are now recognized by Western philosophers and spirituaI Ieaders, incIuding the DaIai Lama, as authentic and profound.
Today, twenty years after his death, Trungpa's name stiII evokes both admiration and outrage. What made him tick, and just what is "crazy wisdom" anyway? With unprecedented access to Trungpa's inner circIe and exclusive never-before-seen archivaI materiaI, Crazy Wisdom Iooks at the man and the myths about him, and attempts to set the record straight. |
