Pratique de la voie tibétaine est une série de causeries données par Chögyam Trungpa Rimpoché, la seule haute autorité spirituelle tibétaine à résider de façon permanente en Occident ; il est considéré, dans le bouddhisme tibétain, comme la onzième incarnation du Trungpa Tulku. A l'issue d'une éducation longue et difficile, il fut initié et couronné comme héritier des lignées de Milarépa et de Padmasambhava. Après l'arrivée des troupes chinoises au Tibet, en 1959, il étudie trois ans en Inde et quatre ans à Oxford. Il fonde ensuite le premier centre bouddhiste tibétain d'étude et de médiation dans l'hémisphère occidental, à Samyê-Ling, en Ecosse. En 1970, Trungpa visite les Etats-Unis et décide d'y fixer sa résidence. Il enseigne à l'université du Colorado. " Un certain nombre de voies de traverse conduisent à une version distordue, égocentrique, de la vie spirituelle. Nous pouvons nous illusionner en pensant que nous nous développons spirituellement, alors qu'en fait nous usons de techniques spirituelles pour renforcer notre ego. Cette distorsion fondamentale mérite le nom de matérialisme spirituel. Chögyam Trungpa

Selon le bouddha, personne ne peut atteindre la santé fondamentale ou l'éveil sans pratiquer la méditation. Les enseignements présentés ici sur le modèle et la technique de méditation donnent les bases dont chaque pratiquant à besoin pour s'éveiller. Chögyam trungpa nous enseigne à abandonner la volonté de mettre la méditation au service de nos ambitions ; ainsi pourrons-nous nous d'étendre d ans l'ouverture. Il nous montre somment la pratique délibérée de l'attention se transforme en conscience attentive : ainsi libérée, nous découvrons le monde de la vision pénétrante que la conscience nous révèle. Nous intégrons alors un subtil dispositif psychologique qui structure automatiquement l'ensemble de notre expérience et nous nous apercevrons que la méditation nous transporte progressivement au-delà de ce dispositif et de l'ego en général, jusqu'à l'expérience de la liberté inconditionnelle.

Presents the bodhisattva teachings of the mahayana. Mahayana practitioners dedicate themselves to the service of all sentient beings, aspiring to save them from sorrow and confusion, and vowing to bring them to perfect liberation. This stage of the path emphasizes the cultivation of wisdom through the view and experience of emptiness, or shunyata, in which all phenomena are seen to be unbounded, completely open, ungraspable, and profound. From the ground of shunyata, compassionate activity is said to arise naturally and spontaneously. In addition to mindfulness and awareness, the mahayanist practices lojong, or "mind training," based on the cultivation of the paramitas, or "transcendent virtues": generosity, discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and prajna, or "knowledge." As a component of lojong, tonglen, or "sending and taking," is practiced in order to increase maitri, or loving-kindness

The foundational teachings of Buddhism—presented here in volume one of Chögyam Trungpa's magnum opus, which offers a systematic overview of the entire path of Tibetan Buddhism This three-volume collection presents in lively, relevant language the comprehensive teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist path of the hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana. Considered Chögyam Trungpa’s masterpiece, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma will resonate with new and senior students of Buddhism. Chögyam Trungpa begins his study by presenting the teachings of the hinayana. The hinayana introduces core Buddhist teachings on the nature of mind, the practice of meditation, the reality of suffering, and the possibility of liberation. It examines the nature of suffering, impermanence, and egolessness, with an emphasis on personal development through meditative discipline and study. The formal entry into the hinayana and the Buddhist path altogether is the refuge vow, in which a student goes for refuge to the Buddha, or the teacher; the dharma, or the teachings; and the sangha, or the community. The hinayana path is based on training in mindfulness and awareness, cultivating virtue, and cutting grasping. Topics covered in detail in this volume include the four noble truths, karma, the four foundations of mindfulness, meditation practice, the refuge vows, the three jewels, the five skandhas, the five precepts, twofold egolessness, and more.

The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa presents the writings of a pivotal Tibetan teacher who introduced Buddhism to the West, organized into eight thematic volumes. This collection features a variety of formats, including full-length books, articles, seminar transcripts, poems, plays, and interviews, many previously unavailable in book form. It spans memoirs of Trungpa's escape from Chinese-occupied Tibet, discussions on psychology, mind, and meditation, as well as original verse and calligraphy, showcasing his diverse vision and teachings. Volume Eight addresses culture, state, and society, reprinting two complete works: Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior and Great Eastern Sun: The Wisdom of Shambhala. These texts explore the concept of an ancient kingdom in Central Asia as a model for enlightened society and the inherent potential for wakefulness within all individuals. Selected writings delve into political consciousness, martial arts, and the essence of warriorship. Additionally, two unpublished articles, "The Martial Arts and the Art of War" and "The Seven Treasures of the Universal Monarch," further illuminate the significance of warriorship in Buddhist teachings and the world of the Shambhala monarch.

Mahamudra is the first English translation of a major Tibetan Buddhist presentation of the theory and practice of meditation-a manual detailing the various stages and practices for training the advanced students. The original Tibetan text of nearly 800 pages was composed by Takpo Tashi Namgyal (1512-87), a great lama and a scholar of the Kagyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. (Reprinted)

Here is a treasury of 108 short teachings by Chögyam Trungpa, one of the most influential Buddhist teachers of our time. Pithy and immediate, these teachings address a range of topics, including fear and fearlessness, accepting our imperfections, developing confidence, helping others, appreciating our basic goodness, and everyday life as a spiritual path.

An exposition of the similarities and differences between Vajrayana Buddhism and Zen, by one of the twentieth century's greatest meditation teachers. The Teacup and the Skullcup is made up of edited transcripts from two seminars that Chögyam Trungpa gave near the beginning of his North American teaching career in 1974--one in Barnet, Vermont, and one in Boston--called "Zen and Tantra." Although Trungpa Rinpoche belonged to the tantra tradition, he acknowledged the strength and discipline gained from Zen influence. Through these talks you can see his respect for the Zen tradition and how it led to his using certain Zen forms for his public meditation hall rituals. He discusses the differences in style, feeling, and emphasis that distinguish the two paths and shows what each one might learn from the other. Also included are Trungpa Rinpoche's commentary on the Ten Oxherding Pictures and an essay he composed in memory of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, a close friend with whom he continually exchanged ideas for furthering buddhadharma in America.

A renowned meditation master retells the stories and realization songs of Tibet's best-known and most-beloved religious figure—and reveals how they relate to our everyday lives He went from being the worst kind of malevolent sorcerer to a devoted and ascetic Buddhist practitioner to a completely enlightened being all in a single lifetime . . . The story of Milarepa (1040–1123) is a tale of such extreme and powerful transformation that it might be thought not to have much direct application to our own less dramatic lives—but Chögyam Trungpa shows otherwise. This collection of his teachings on the life and songs of the great Tibetan Buddhist poet-saint reveals how Milarepa’s difficulties can be a source of guidance and inspiration for anyone. His struggles, his awakening, and the teachings from his remarkable songs provide precious wisdom for all us practitioners and show what devoted and diligent practice can achieve.

Chogyam Trungpa describes "crazy wisdom" as an innocent state of mind that has the quality of early morning--fresh, sparkling, and completely awake. This fascinating book examines the life of Padmasambhava--the revered Indian teacher who brought Buddhism to Tibet--to illustrate the principle of crazy wisdom. From this profound point of view, spiritual practice does not provide comfortable answers to pain or confusion. On the contrary, painful emotions can be appreciated as a challenging opportunity for new discovery. In particular, the author discusses meditation as a practical way to uncover one's own innate wisdom.

Warning: Using this book could be hazardous to your ego! The slogans it contains are designed to awaken the heart and cultivate love and kindness toward others. They are revolutionary in that practicing them fosters abandonment of personal territory in relating to others and in understanding the world as it is. The fifty-nine provocative slogans presented here—each with a commentary by the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa—have been used by Tibetan Buddhists for eight centuries to help meditation students remember and focus on important principles and practices of mind training. They emphasize meeting the ordinary situations of life with intelligence and compassion under all circumstances. Slogans include, "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Be grateful to everyone," and "Always maintain only a joyful mind." This edition contains a new foreword by Pema Chödrön.

The teachings delve into the practice of sadhana, a crucial aspect of Tibetan Buddhism, emphasizing the integration of meditation and ritual. Trungpa Rinpoche offers insights into the spiritual journey, guiding practitioners through various stages of development and understanding. His approach highlights the importance of personal experience and the transformative power of dedicated practice, making these teachings accessible for both beginners and experienced practitioners seeking deeper spiritual insight.

A collection of Chögyam Trungpa's early teachings in North America--on buddha nature, emptiness, the feminine principle, and the three bodies of enlightenment. At the beginning of a North American teaching career that would span seventeen years, the meditation master Chögyam Trungpa conducted five pivotal seminars covering various dharmic topics. The transcripts from these seminars are collected here so that readers can experience them right at home. Comprising twenty-six talks in total, each one followed by a Q&A, Glimpses of the Profound is sure to provoke glimpses of all kinds: glimpses that inspire you to look further, glimpses that give you confidence, glimpses that upset the apple cart, glimpses that open your heart, glimpses that undermine falsity, glimpses that awaken you to your boundless potential. This book was originally published as four separate volumes by Vajradhatu Publications. Judith L. Lief has written a new introduction.

Featuring a new foreword by Pema Chödrön, this Tibetan Buddhist classic explores the meaning of freedom and how we can attain it through meditation Freedom is generally thought of as the ability to achieve goals and satisfy desires. But what are the sources of these goals and desires? If they arise from ignorance, habitual patterns, and negative emotions, is the freedom to pursue these goals true freedom—or is it just a myth? In The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation, Chögyam Trungpa explores the true meaning of freedom, showing us how our attitudes, preconceptions, and even our spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair. He also explains how meditation can bring into focus the causes of frustration, and how these negative forces can aid us in advancing toward true freedom. Trungpa's unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist teachings in the language and imagery of contemporary American culture makes this book one of the best, most accessible sources of the Buddhist doctrine ever written.

A groundbreaking, accessible presentation of Tibetan Buddhism from Chögyam Trungpa, renowned twentieth-century master and teacher. Based on a series of talks given by Chögyam Trungpa during the first session of what was to become Naropa University, Cynicism and Magic introduces key Tibetan Buddhist concepts, including karma, the structure of ego, the paramitas, and the bodhisattva. Employing a unique and intimate teaching style, Trungpa Rinpoche presents these concepts in a larger framework of questions we all have: What is authentic spirituality? Can I find enlightenment and freedom? How should I approach life, death, suffering, and boredom? How can I develop some discipline, patience, and sanity? Through these accessible teachings, this book will show you how to approach a living dharma with intelligence, and with a sense of openness and wonder.

The Abhidharma is a collection of Buddhist scriptures that investigate the workings of the mind and the states of human consciousness. In this book, Chögyam Trungpa shows how an examination of the formation of the ego provides us with an opportunity to develop real intelligence. Trungpa also presents the practice of meditation as the means that enables us to see our psychological situation clearly and directly.

All of us experience obstacles as part of our journey, in life and on the spiritual path. In many cases, we think of them as purely something unpleasant to overcome, or as a mistake that needs correcting. Here, Chogyam Trungpa takes a radically different approach to such obstacles, teaching that unexpected chaos, confusion, and emotional upheavals can actually be used as fuel for the journey-an energy that can transform confusion into sanity and wisdom. He illustrates this transformative principle through telling the lively history of the Trungpa tulkus (a lineage within the Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism) of which he was the eleventh incarnation. Trungpa referred to his lineage as the "Mishap Lineage" because of the ups and downs and colorful lives that were typical of his predecessors, and true of his own life as well. The stories of the Trungpas are seen as a guide for the practitioner's journey and help us to understand how important lineage and community remain for us today.

There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That’s what the Shambhala teachings are all about, and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than twenty years.

A mudra is a symbolic gesture or action that gives physical expression to an inner state. This book of poetry and songs of devotion, written by Chögyam Trungpa between 1959 and 1971, is spontaneous and celebratory. This volume also includes the ten traditional Zen oxherding pictures accompanied by a unique commentary that offers an unmistakably Tibetan flavor. Fans of this renowned teacher will enjoy the heartfelt devotional quality of this early work.

A “fascinating and inspiring” celebration of women’s spirituality and the female mystics of Tibetan Buddhism—now featuring an updated and expanded author autobiography (San Francisco Chronicle) Women of Wisdom explores and celebrates the spiritual potential of all women, as exemplified by the lives of six Tibetan female mystics. These stories of great women who have achieved full illumination—overcoming cultural prejudices and a host of other problems which male practitioners do not encounter—offer a wealth of inspiration to everyone on the spiritual path. In this revised and expanded edition, Tsultrim Allione’s extensive autobiographical preface and introduction speak directly to the difficulties and triumphs of women in the West who pursue a spiritual life, as she shares her own stories and experiences. Women of Wisdom offers valuable insights to all those interested in women’s spirituality, regardless of background or tradition.

More and more mental health professionals are discovering the rich tradition of Buddhist psychology and integrating its insights into their work with clients. Buddhist tradition teaches that all of us are born with what Chögyam Trungpa terms "basic sanity," or inherent goodness, health, and clear perception. Helping ourselves and others to connect with this intrinsic ground of sanity and health is the subject of this collection of teachings, which the author gave to Western psychologists, psychotherapists, and students of Buddhist meditation over a number of years. The Sanity We Are Born With describes how anyone can strengthen their mental health, and it also addresses the specific problems and needs of people in profound psychological distress. Additionally, the author speaks to the concerns of psychotherapists and any health care professionals who work with their patients' states of mind. The collection includes teachings on:    •  Buddhist concepts of mind, ego, and intelligence, and how these ideas can be employed in working on oneself and with others    •  meditation as a way of training the mind and cultivating mindfulness    •  nurturing our intrinsic health and basic sanity    •  guidance for psychotherapists and health professionals

Made popular by Pema Chodron in her book Start Where You Are, a collection of classic "slogans" from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition that can be used to cultivate compassion and awareness amid the struggles of daily living

The book offers valuable teachings on integrating mindfulness and awareness into everyday life, emphasizing the benefits of a consistent meditation practice. It explores practical applications of these concepts, aiming to enhance personal well-being and deepen one's understanding of daily experiences. Through insightful guidance, readers are encouraged to cultivate a more present and mindful approach to their routines and interactions.

The truth of life has never been better or more succinctly articulated than in the Buddha's teaching on suffering, its cause, and its cessation—the famous formulation known as the Four Noble Truths. This concise handful of words is in fact the foundation from which all subsequent Buddhist teachings grow, and upon which all of them rely. Their wisdom is as pertinent to the scholar of Buddhist philosophy as it is to the ordinary practitioner, as it is indeed to anyone, anywhere, who aspires to liberation.Chögyam Trungpa's in-depth exploration of the Four Noble Truths reveals the subtlety and sophistication that lie beneath these deceptively simple teachings. He emphasizes their profound relevance not just as an inspiration when we set out on the path but at every other moment of our lives as well, showing how we can join view (intellectual understanding) of the teaching with practical application in order to interrupt suffering before it arises.His teaching is, as always, refreshingly direct and profoundly inspiring. The Truth of Suffering is an ideal introduction to the Four Noble Truths for the beginner as well as for the experienced practitioner in search of deeper understanding.

“One of the great spiritual leaders of all times” offers mindfulness meditations and guidance on how to bring awareness into everyday life with “an illuminating wisdom that dances through every page” (Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance) The rewards of mindfulness practice are well proven: reduced stress, improved concentration, and an overall sense of well-being. But those benefits are just the beginning. Mindfulness in action—mindfulness applied throughout life—can help us work more effectively with life’s challenges, expanding our appreciation and potential for creative engagement. This guide to mindful awareness through meditation provides all the basics to get you started, but also goes deeper to address the questions that naturally arise as your practice matures and further insight arises. A distillation of teachings on the subject by one of the great meditation masters of our time, this book serves as an introduction to the practice as well as a guide to the ongoing mindful journey. “Mindfulness is the direct path to insight—and no one has ever illuminated that wonderful path more skillfully than Chögyam Trungpa.” —Pema Chödrön

Explains the wisdom of lovingkindness and nonaggression, how meditation can help readers uncover their inherent confidence and bravery, how fear and embarrassment keep people trapped in cycles of suffering, and how true invincibility depends on becoming more open and vulnerable.

In this classic scripture of Tibetan Buddhism—traditionally read aloud to the dying to help them attain liberation—death and rebirth are seen as a process that provides an opportunity to recognize the true nature of mind. This translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead emphasizes the practical advice that the book offers to the living. The insightful commentary by Chögyam Trungpa, written in clear, concise language, explains what the text teaches us about human psychology. This book will be of interest to people concerned with death and dying, as well as those who seek greater spiritual understanding in everyday life.

This classic teaching by a Tibetan master continues to inspire both beginners and long-time practitioners of Buddhist meditation. In Meditation in Action, Chögyam Trungpa teaches that meditation is based on trying to see what is, rather than trying to achieve a higher mental or physical state. Trungpa describes the life of the Buddha, emphasizing that, like the Buddha, we must find the truth for ourselves, rather than following someone else's example. Meditation in action might also be called "working meditation," for it is not a retreat from the world. Rather, it builds the foundation for tremendous compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of a person's mind or behavior. Trungpa shows that meditation extends beyond the formal practice of sitting to build the foundation for compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of life. He explores the six activities associated with meditation in action—generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom –revealing that through simple direct experience, one can attain real wisdom—the ability to see clearly into situations and to deal with them skillfully, without the self-consciousness connected with ego.

Out of print since 1989, this is a volume of illuminating autobiography by one of the best-known spiritual teachers of our day. Identified at just over a year old as a major telku or reincarnation of an enlightened teacher, Trungpa underwent intensive training in meditation, philosophy and fine arts, and was ordinated as a monk at the age of eighteen, in 1958. The following year the Chinese invaded, and Trungpa spent many harrowing months trekking across the Himalaya to north India, where this absorbing memoir concludes. In an epilogue, Trungpa describes his emigration to the West, and the development of his first Western teachings.

This volume features five books released between 2003 and 2009, alongside a set of cards showcasing the Shambhala warrior slogans. Additionally, it includes eighteen articles and interviews, all dating back to 1983 or earlier, providing a rich context and historical perspective on the themes explored within the works.

The buddhadharma represents the teachings of the awakened mind, where Buddha signifies the “awakened one” and dharma refers to “law” or “teaching.” This path of training fosters enlightenment and embodies the norms of an awakened state throughout the journey. The development occurs through increasing levels of commitment, categorized into three main stages known as the three yanas: hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana (or tantra), all of which are essential. Hinayana focuses on realizing the Buddha's fundamental teachings and recognizing suffering stemming from ego. Mahayana emphasizes understanding suffering and experience as a foundation for communication. Vajrayana achieves complete directness, where duality is seen through, and the notion of a spiritual journey dissolves. Each yana corresponds to a vow, marking the transcendence of hesitation. The hinayana vow involves taking refuge in the Buddha, dharma, and sangha—the three jewels. In mahayana, practitioners can take the bodhisattva vow, prioritizing the welfare of others. The final stage, tantra, entails the samaya vow, representing total devotion to the guru as the embodiment of the awakened state. The teachings of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, on the refuge and bodhisattva vows are explored in subsequent pages, drawn from his talks during vow ceremonies.

Es eignet sich sowohl für Anfänger als auch für erfahrene Meditierende und bietet Inspiration sowie Zugang zu Trungpas weiteren Werken.

Seit Erscheinen hat sich diese Ausgabe für Hunderttausende bewährt, die auch heute noch jedem in Zeiten von Umbrüchen, Veränderungen und persönlichen Krisen ein wertvoller Ratgeber ist.

108 krátkých učení Chögyam Trugpy, jednoho z nejvlivnějších buddhistických učitelů naší doby. Jeho učení se pádným a bezprostředním způsobem dotýkají řady námětů, včetně strachu, nebojácnosti, příjetí naší nedokonalosti, rozvoje důvěry, pomoci ostatním, ocenění našeho základního dobra a každodenního života coby duchovní cesty.

V této knize Chögyam Trungpa zkoumá význam svobody v hlubokém kontextu tibetského buddhismu. Vysvětluje významnou roli, již meditace hraje v možnosti zaměřit se na příčiny frustrace, a jak usnadňuje, aby tyto negativní síly pomáhaly v postupu ke skutečné svobodě. Trungpova jedinečná schopnost vyjádřit esenci buddhistického učení jazykem a metaforami současné americké kultury, činí tuto knihu jedním z nejlépe dosažitelných bezprostředních pramenů pro pochopení buddhistického učení, která byla dosud napsaná.

Buddhistické náhledy na zásady praktického i duchovního života. Sbírka esejů, promluv a seminářů od Chögyam Trungpy ukazuje vztah základního buddhistického učení k všednímu životu.

Das Shambhala-Training ist der tibetische Pfad des friedvollen Kriegers, der sich vor allem durch Achtsamkeit, Sanftheit und Mut auszeichnet. Diese Qualitäten erreicht man durch eine einfache Meditationsübung, die Chögyam Trungpa hier erstmalig in der westlichen Welt bekanntgemacht hat.

Příručka obsahuje dva semináře tibetského duchovního mistra o buddhistické meditační praxi.

Chögyam Trungpas alles durchdringende Sicht auf das Verhältnis zwischen Buddhismus und westlicher Psychologie ist vor allem für Psychotherapeuten und all jene Menschen erhellend, die in Heilberufen mit dem Geisteszustand ihrer Patienten in Berührung kommen. „„Das bedeutet zunächst einmal, dass wir mit unserer natürlichen Fähigkeit zu menschlicher Wärme arbeiten. Zuerst können wir Wärme gegenüber uns selbst entwickeln und sie sich dann auf andere ausdehnen lassen. Das liefert die Grundlage für die Beziehung zu psychisch Kranken, zu anderen und zu uns selbst, alles im selben Rahmen. Ein Patient sollte spüren, dass Sie selbst Gesundheit ausstrahlen. Therapie muss auf gegenseitiger Wertschätzung beruhen. Man muss seine eigene Ungeduld loslassen und lernen, Menschen zu lieben. Das ist der Weg, grundlegende Gesundheit in anderen zu kultivieren.“ Chögyam Trungpa In der hier erstmals vorgelegten Textsammlung stellt Chögyam Trungpa die buddhistischen Konzepte von Geist, Ego und Intelligenz vor. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht er der Frage nach, wie wir mit uns selbst und anderen arbeiten können, um die uns innewohnende geistige Gesundheit zu stärken: Hierbei bietet er eine Vielzahl von Hilfestellungen für Psychotherapeuten und für Menschen in Heilberufen an.

V tomto praktickém průvodci k osvícenému životu nabízí Trungpa Rinpoče inspirující vizi pro naši dobu, která je založena na postavě posvátného bojovníka. V dávných dobách se bojovník učil zvládat výzvy života nejen na bojovém poli, ale i mimo něj. Pocit osobní svobody a síly nezískal násilím nebo agresivností, ale díky jemnosti, odvaze a sebepoznání.

Автор учит читателя разрушать искусственные препятствия, которые мы возводим между нашей духовной практикой и такими извечными составляющими человеческой жизни, как работа, секс и деньги, чтобы увидеть их природную священность, понять то, чему они могут научить нас, и принимать мудрые решения всякий раз, когда мы сталкиваемся с проблемами в нашей повседневной жизни, карьере и личных отношениях.

Medytacja to coś więcej niż formalna praktyka siedzenia w bezruchu – to prowadząca poza poduszkę medytacyjną droga do budowania podstaw współczucia, świadomości i kreatywności we wszystkich aspektach życia. W ramach tych klasycznych już nauk, posługując się przystępnym i barwnym językiem, Trungpa Rinpocze ukazuje sześć „aktywności” związanych z medytacją w działaniu: szczodrość, dyscyplinę, cierpliwość, energię, klarowność i mądrość. Poprzez proste i bezpośrednie doświadczenie każdy może osiągnąć autentyczną mądrość – zdolność do jasnego postrzegania sytuacji i radzenia sobie z nimi w umiejętny sposób.

Der im Westen bekannteste tibetische Meditationsmeister führt uns in diesem Buch ein in die Psychologie des Buddhismus. Sie ist eine Wissenschaft vom Funktionieren des menschlichen Geistes und eine „Bewußtseinstechnologie“, die uns praktische Methoden an die Hand gibt, den „ganz normalen Wahnsinn“ unseres Alltagslebens zu durchschauen und uns in allen seinen Wechselfällen in der Erfahrung der wahren Wirklichkeit jenseits dieses Wahns zu verankern.

Die meisten von uns werden, ohne dass sie es sich klarmachen, von Ängsten bestimmt. Manche Ängste sind uns bewusst, wie in der Öffentlichkeit zu sprechen, in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten zu geraten oder einen geliebten Menschen zu verlieren. In diesem Buch jedoch weist uns der Meditationslehrer Chögyam Trungpa auf eine alles durchdringende Angst hin: die Angst vor uns selbst. Es beschämt uns und macht uns verlegen, unsere Gefühle anzuschauen oder uns unsere Denk- und Handlungsweisen einzugestehen. Der Realität jeder einzelnen Erfahrung möchten wir gar nicht ins Auge blicken. Und das ist genau diese Angst, die uns in den Kreisläufen von Leid, Verzweiflung und Stress gefangen hält.

Zen und Tantra – zwei buddhistische Traditionen, die von außen betrachtet kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten. Klar und asketisch die eine – vielgestaltig und geheimnisvoll die andere. Der richtungweisende buddhistische Lehrer Chögyam Trungpa überschreitet in seinen Unterweisungen ohne Scheu die Grenzen dieser Traditionen. Selbst im tibetisch-tantrischen Buddhismus verankert, vermittelt er seine Faszination mit der Weltsicht und Praxis des Zen. Eine tiefgründige und poetische Begegnung. In dieser Sammlung von Vorträgen aus dem Jahr 1974 schöpft Chögyam Trungpa aus seinem profunden Wissen über die verschiedenen buddhistischen Schulen und erschließt die wesentlichen Inhalte von tantrischem und Zen-Buddhismus seinen westlichen Schülern.
