Midal Chögyam Trungpa: His Life and Vision
Fabrice Midal
Boston: Shambhala Publications, 2004
576 pp.; $26.95 (cloth)

A short time after the death of the Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939—1987), Khyentse Norbu Rinpoche, put things into perspective. He said that to be able to appreciate the full vision and accomplishments of Chögyam Trungpa would take a hundred years. He said that Trungpa Rinpoche, unlike most of his Tibetan colleagues, who didn’t think much of the aptitude and sincerity of Western “dharma students,” gave openly. He didn’t hold back. He had the courage and presence of heart to actually trust that his students could go all the way.
