About this listen

ChgyamTrungpa's unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist teachings in the language and imagery of modern American culture makes his books among the most accessible works of Buddhist philosophy. Here Trungpa explores the true meaning of freedom, showing us how our preconceptions, attitudes, and even our spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair. This edition features a new foreword by Pema Chödrön, a close student of Trungpa and the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart.

At times it was hard to grasp but I suspect that’s due to how far along I am down my own spiritual road. I didn’t like the speed of the reader so I played it at 1.1. It was extremely insightful and one of the best spiritual guides to understanding the path that I’ve read. I’m pretty sure I only absorbed half the information and I’ll definitely be listening to it again. Sometimes it felt like an effort to listen to it and I would often have to go back as my attention would drift. I gather that was due to me not grasping the concepts of that area of the book. It’s the kind of book that is probably best read in hard copy form. However much effort I put it I definitely reaped the rewards. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about continuing down their spiritual path.

Highly recommend

Another excellent teach by Chögyam Trungpa. Another treat is that Roger Clark sounds almost exactly like Steven Toast 🤣

What can you say about Chogyam Trungpa that hasn’t already been said? Anyway, this is both an inspirational book, and a valuable introduction to the Vajryana. I’ve been learning more about Buddhism for several years now, and always feel that somehow I’m missing something. Perhaps that’s the nature of it, but this book has been really valuable in getting a grip on the lineage that I took refuge in three years ago.

Amazing being!

Chogyam Trumps is an amazing writer all his books are excellent fabulous reading and full of amazing facts and very informative. That’s the second time I’ve read this one and probably read it again, there’s always something else that you missed. A must read especially if you’re interested in Buddhism though you don’t have to be to find it interesting.

Perfection
