Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Chögyam Trungpa describes "crazy wisdom" as an innocent state of mind that has the quality of early morning—fresh, sparkling, and completely awake. This fascinating book examines the life of Padmasambhava—the revered Indian teacher who brought Buddhism to Tibet—to illustrate the principle of crazy wisdom. From this profound point of view, spiritual practice does not provide comfortable answers to pain or confusion. On the contrary, painful emotions can be appreciated as a challenging opportunity for new discovery. In particular, the author discusses meditation as a practical way to uncover one's own innate wisdom.


About the Author

Chögyam Trungpa (1940–1987) was a meditation master, teacher, and artist who founded Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International. He is the author of numerous books including Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior and Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for Life, April 25, 2000
By "bourgdemer" (Copenhagen) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crazy Wisdom (Paperback)
My father gave me a copy of "Crazy Wisdom" on my twelfth birthday. I am now 20 years old, and I still struggle with the enormity of what this book implies. I have read it several times, left it behind, returned to it with new experiences and gained new insights. Basically, the book contains Tibetan philosophical wisdom, but it is infinitely more. I'd recommend this book to everyone who is interested in philosophy (and in particular Oriental and Tibetan). The book is a powerful and relatively understandable introduction to contemporary Tibetan philsophers, based largely on Buddhism, but the religious aspect of the book is negligible. This is not a cheap "This will change your life" scam, but contains some serious and powerful methods of working with the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom with compassion, March 30, 2007
By Spread Wisdom (Ontario ,Canada) - See all my reviews
Trungpa's Crazy Wisdom is the wisdom of compassion; it is also the best gift a compassionate Buddhist Master bestowed to the Western world. When reading his teaching, I can feel in any moment that the teaching is passed on to me from his heart, his linage and his being. This is the best book I have read by far which could use the most earth English language to hand over the most profound teaching from the Vajrayana tradition.
