Product Description
Product Description
The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa brings together in eight volumes the writings of the first and most influential and inspirational Tibetan teacher to present Buddhism in the West. Organized by theme, the collection includes full-length books as well as articles, seminar transcripts, poems, plays, and interviews, many of which have never before been available in book form. From memoirs of his escape from Chinese-occupied Tibet to insightful discussions of psychology, mind, and meditation; from original verse and calligraphy to the esoteric lore of tantric Buddhism—the impressive range of Trungpa's vision, talents, and teachings is showcased in this landmark series.
Volume Three captures the distinctive voice that Chögyam Trungpa developed in North America in the 1970s and reflects the preoccupations among Western students of that era. It includes Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism and The Myth of Freedom, the two books that put Chögyam Trungpa on the map of the American spiritual scene. The Heart of the Buddha and sixteen articles and forewords complete this volume.

Quintessential Chogyam Trungpa
23 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
There is a tremendous amount of information in this volume and well worth reading for Buddhists and students of Buddhism. Not to be read quickly, however. Definitely a work to be pondered and gone over more than once. The writing is clear and lucid, excellent for beginners as well as the more advanced. If you have read other works by Chogyam Trungpa, there is some overlap, but he always approaches the subject matter from a different viewpoint and there is always more to be learned.

A Must Read
17 Feb 2008
Format:Hardcover
I ordered this book because it was a good value. "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism", "Myth of Freedom", and "Heart of the Buddha" in one volume (previously owned copy) for $23 dollars from the Amazon Marketplace. Plus I had read his student's book, "Luminous Emptiness" and was very touched. So, I was intrigue to find out what he taught in his own seminars.
Having only read "Cutting through Spiritual Materialism" so far, all I can say is that this part of the volume is brilliant. concise and get straight to the point. He made profound and insightful advices easily understandable, a sign of profound understanding of the materials being presented. He exposes the underlying materialistic motivations of many seekers of truth even when they believe their own motivations are completely honest and honorable.
I have to admit after reading "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism", I discovered that my own quest is filled with aggression and motivated by materialistic gain. His lucid writing truly forced me to re-examine my own actions and behaviors. His advocacy of simplicity, living in each moment, and living with disappointment have really open my eyes to a more open vision. Once in a long while, you find a book that truly change the direction of your life. "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism" did that for me.

a great collection
11 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
What can I say? This guy is brilliant, well schooled, well reincarnated, and can write. I was on the edge of my seat reading his exit from Tibet being so close to danger and death the whole trip. This man has deep compassion. He has been over criticized because of how/what people think a holy man should be. His wife wrote a great autobiography of their life. It made me appreciate this collection of writing that much more. He was the meditation pioneer for western culture.
