[@BuddhaLove77]

I hope that all who see and hear this pray for each other’s happiness and for the happiness of this wonderful teacher. We need not fear, there is another way…. NewCultureofPeace&Love….Now!🙏

[@HalfDumb]

Compassionate all encompassing one ! He was beyond our imagination and his teachings so simple and profound. I didn't have the fortune to learn from him in physical person but his transmissions are still as potent as if he is always here. Eh Vam !

[@davidmontemayor4383]

Amazing! Thank you for this wonderful teaching.

[@buddhaAl]

Excellent dharma talk! The essence of the Kagyu lineage teaching is embedded within the energy signature of his dharma talk much like a hologram contains the "ALL" with a unique perspective depending on your POV. Thanks for posting this!

[@trotrelcaizapanta8054]

Great! !

[@johnzaldivar551]

Very clear, brilliant master. His teachings, as a christian can certainly be utilised, so should all of mankind do also. He is clear. Down to earth. as they used to say, he was hip! Now a days the kids would say ,he's the pimp :) No disrespect, love his teachings. Peace.

[@humptydumpty8860]

Sorry for a very belated reply but certainly I never would think as some kids of todays may.infact I am extremely grateful that such a great master did happen to exist...having left behind his way of life as an ordained monk..taking on the western cloak and teaching to western students from their vantage points.at the end all his own Gurus his own spiritual masters came to bid his farewell.and he smiled from the sky

[@taraluka7628]

It is absolutely genius 🧘‍♀️.

[@vendorcommercialprograms7578]

If he was around today he would be very popular.

[@JigmeGurung]

Dharma is not only for monks and people who are buddhist..and for people who seek enlighment... it is for all the people who walk this earth... compassion and right thought is a necessary for every living thing on this earth.. to understand the true nature of our own life.. our self existance.. to know that there is a wheel of karma..

[@diligentlight151]

Wow

[@lazyfreedom98]

I cant help but not thinking that this would be putty in the hand of evil . . . dharma gates without end . . . knowledge, understanding and imagination.

[@MiamiNole815]

out of curiosity I searched for a couple of the names of the people involved with the recording of this, specifically Bruce Wauchope and Peter Goldfarb. It is noteworthy how many people Chogyam Trungpa influenced and is still influencing through their(his students if you will) lives

[@sharonzhang870]

With my limited understanding, I think he's more doing a mahasiddha's merit punya soil cultivating enriching preparing job for future times, for all teachers students of vajrayana path etc while ripening few that were ready. It's very likely his socially strange behaviour was to purify certain defilements. We project all sorts of things onto each other, outside world, subconciously unconsciously. A vajra master could be trying to tidy up these. Hinayana approach is really good in guarding cleaning one's own perceived world. In other words, as a disciple, one always has the right to stay away from whatever's not agreeable, gracefully. This self-empowered right and option has always been there. Mahayana’s spirit is compassion, or common goodness applicable to all. Tailor-made unique guru-disciple experience doesn't cross these foundations. Vajrayana path is like chemist lab. Whoever’s not inside the lab testing chemicals and formula, doesn't know how and why the tests are done in certain ways. Whoever considers oneself a vajrayana student would naturally be very thoughtful and careful with one’s words, actions, most importantly thoughts and motivation. Best wishes to all.

[@hamiltoncamp]

Speaking of careful use of language; this jumped out at me when he says, hmmm. I think he says “guarded, not paranoid”. I have to listen again. That’s why I love thorough knowledge of language, as you as well exhibit. Thank you.

[@marcelovelez9105]

Incredible elocuent

[@tenzindasal7939]

Very beautiful and informative video

[@squamish4244]

Trungpa was at once a very inspiring and very controversial person. I am glad I was not around when the dharma first came to the West in the 1970s, with all the chaos that it brought - some of which was Trungpa's own doing, unfortunately. On the other hand, I am grateful for the foundation he helped lay. "[Trungpa] caused more trouble, and did more good, than anyone I'll ever know." - Rick Fields, historian of Buddhism in America

[@astralacuity]

+valair Such is the dualistic position regarding yeshe cholwa.

[@squamish4244]

James Hansen Well...I'm not sure anyone, even great teachers, are clear on the difference between crazy wisdom and just crazy. It is an authentic tradition, but "our limited dualistic view" is too often invoked to justify plain old irresponsible actions on the part of Trungpa and others. No one is above criticism. Some of Trungpa's behaviour was just bad, like being incoherently drunk onstage, and some was utterly reprehensible, such as the coke snorting and sleeping with an underage teenager (~17 years old) who later killed herself. If Trungpa was a teacher in the interconnected world of today he wouldn't last a year before scandals brought him down, and that's a good thing. I think the crazy wisdom chapter of Buddhist history has closed for good in any case. The world has changed too much, and anyway there's no longer a need for them, even if they aren't just plain crazy like Trungpa often was.

[@astralacuity]

valair I see where you're coming from, but my position was coming from my practicing in a tradition which (like many) recognize Trungpa Rinpoche as a genuine teacher. This is not out of blind religiosity but rather due to the countless people who found either a great advancement in practice or eventual realization as a result of coming into contact with him. There's a distinct difference between the legacy he was responsible with regards to his students and that of a crazy cult leader which only leaves people confused, betrayed, and mindless.

[@squamish4244]

+James Hansen There is no doubt that Trungpa was an authentic teacher who helped many people. His legacy was profound. His style was problematic for many, however, e.g. he did not understand the damage his kind of teaching could inflict on fragile psyches or people with mental health concerns like myself. (Neither do most traditional teachers, it's just he was an extreme.) He was a product of his time and place and that is over. On balance, I think it is better that he existed than not, but I do think it is important to be honest about the mixed legacies of various teachers in order for Buddhism to continue to evolve, as indeed it has in its 45 years in North America.

[@hiranath1699]

valar Your comment remind me of the comment of that ignorant young lady on seeing Mila Repa’s fragile and poorly clad body. She said remorsefully “Oh God, I wish I never be born like him” on that Mila said “dear, don’t worry even if you pray you can never be born like me”. The other girls with her understood it and beg pardon and prayed to Mila that they be able to remove their defilement and sin (they too initially looked down upon Him).

[@irenan6585]

Never has there been any one like him, and never there will be. But, his left his Buddha field behind for us, so...who cares!

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

Sure there will be, there already are, but he did great things, and some really harmful things, for the Dharma in the West.

[@zerouniverse7486]

I don'tunderstand he saying in English but I know he is very kind for humanity🙏🌹

[@claraurioste]

Thank you Rimpoche

[@jarrydlee3349]

Great Dharma talk!

[@gregoryford3531]

Umm, it has been said that one cannot change his or her religion because one cannot change their conscience. So be it. It's been written that when the iron bird flies the Dharma will come west. So be it. My point here is that that the zeitgeist of the 'humanistic gestalt', if you will, transcends sectarianism of all sorts. With the Karma Kagyu connection of the Dorje Dradul,, we can appreciate the gift of Tibetan Buddhism (by the lineages), and just work with that. Cultural hosts are hard to come by. So,I for one, will try to serve tea to my Native American relations in this good land. And let chips fall where they may. Aho

[@snarewrek]

2:48 is all the dharma I need

[@bardoface]

John agreed. The laugh and the diapers!

[@danielleswain2729]

The Dalai Lama has promoted global exportation of meditation as a "human practice," rather than strictly religious. As such, the secular nature of meditation "for the goal of universal human benefit" is emphasized, allowing for secular, spiritual but non-religious participation.

[@ShamanicMCCosmology]

Why are the problems unspeakable?

[@wellwisher9817]

It just means there is limitless unthinkable problems.Most often meanings are lost in translation since there are certain words in other languages that don’t have a direct word in English to get their full meaning

[@aurelnegrea7617]

At first glance. I thought he’s tight up electric Cher ?? Haa. By buda

[@greenspringvalley]

I wonder what he's laughing at around 3:00.

[@superKapitan82]

Some understanding of Guru principle? :-)

[@hamiltoncamp]

15:22 Though

[@adamkosmos]

now we have spiritual materialism wheres real gurus gone ?

[@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter]

They still exist.

[@wellwisher9817]

Gurus are never gone. They just come in different forms suited for different times.

[@juliasmith5267]

I was just checking this out and had to share it, an enlightened master called Sri Avinash is transmitting the enlightened state, called the Satori Transmission. You can see in video people are experiencing a what enlightenment feels like because of him within minutes. 🧡 Check it out! #sriavinashsatori 💖💚

[@juliettedaitch4529]

I apologize for the 6 realms teaching its based in ignorance and suffering not wisdom please make it stop. 🙏🏽
