BuddhaFest Teaching: Lama Tsony on Crazy Wisdom
During the funeral for the 16th Karmapa, in Sikkim, India, Lama Tsony had a brief but significant encounter with Chögyam Trunga—a thunderbolt, as he describes it. Bolstered by the fearlessness of compassionate wisdom, Chögyam Trungpa moved away from his background and culture and embraced life as it presented itself to him. He accepted reality as it was. By embracing the times he lived in, he turned the art of living into an enlightened master class on contemporary culture. Much to the shock, dismay and delight of others, he embodied a quality of fearlessness that was like licking honey off a razor blade. More » -

BuddhaFest: Crazy Wisdom starts Monday!
"I wanted the audience to feel like they had met Trungpa," says Crazy Wisdom filmmaker Johanna Demetrakas. "I want people to leave the theater feeling like they had spent an hour and a half in his presence."Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's presence is legendary. Consider: Allen Ginsberg considered him his guru; Thomas Merton wanted to write a book with him; Pema Chodron was his student and Joni Mitchell wrote a song about him. He inspired a huge Buddhist movement in the West. Crazy Wisdom looks at the "life and times" of this major, if controversial, Buddhist figure. Crazy Wisdom is a long time coming. Demetrakas spent five years researching the film and four more years making it. Many Tricycle Community Members have said that it's the film that they are most excited about in the first Tricycle BuddhaFest Online Film Festival. More » -

Take your seat
Every now and then I post a quote from Ocean of Dharma, a somewhat weekly email sent out by Carolyn Gimian, founding director of the Shambhala Archives and editor of many of Chogyam Trungpa's books. Each mini teaching is a quote by Trungpa Rinpoche. Here, Trungpa Rinpoche writes on meditation and meditative awareness in the world: Take your seat The practice of meditation is taking your seat in the warrior's world. Then, throughout your life, meditative awareness shows you how to regain your balance when you lose it, and how to use the messages from the phenomenal world to further your discipline. The practice of meditation also allows you to be completely grounded in reality. More »
