Where Spiritual Giants Duke It Out

Chogyam Trungpa
Taking Hits

 

Georg Feuerstein:

"There can be no question in anyone's mind that Chogryam Trungpa abandoned himself to the stream of life with a daredevil attitude characteristic of crazy-wisdom adepts. Most of those who knew him personally would even concede that he remained true to his bodhisattva vow to the end: to help suffering humanity and guide his fellow beings to the Clear Light. The questions and criticisms that continue to trouble former students and interested observers concern his ability to combine wisdom (prajna) with skillful means (upaya). The doubts surrounding this issue are especially nagging when one knows that Trungpa apparently died from complications resulting from his alcohol addiction." (Holy Madness 74)
