Based on the author's talks at Naropa University, this volume introduces the reader to the principles of tantra, based on the practice of meditation, which leads to the discovery of egolessness. Trungpa Rinpoche provides a direct and experiential picture of the tantric world, explaining the importance of self-existing energy, the mandala principle, the difference between Buddhist and Hindu tantra—stressing the nontheistic foundation of Buddhism. The role of the teacher and the meaning of tantric transmission are also presented. Written for the student of Buddhism rather than the scholar, Journey without Goal demystifies the vajrayana and at the same time affirms the power and sacredness of its ancient teaching.

If you are familiar with Buddhism and meditation practice, this is essential. Trungpa Rinpoche' is brilliant in presenting the approach to tantra; this has been the clearest written description of this ancient, magical practive that I have seen.

A User-Friendly Explanation of Vajrayana/Tantra by Chogyam Trumgpa Rinpoche

January 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was surprised that this book was understandable. The Vajrayana aspect of Tibetan Buddhism has always been a challenge to understand for me. This books is quite user friendly. I am very appreciative of that.

Good but not great

June 14, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I really wanted to get this book to teach myself about egolessness. However, when I read the introduction there were warnings about reading on and trying to learn the last step first. Apparently, the Hinayana and the Mahayana are the first and second steps (in that order) to be mastered, before one reads this book. I read on into the beginning of the first chapter, and the warnings were correct, I was lost and had no idea what was going on. So Warning to all others, get books on the Hinayana and the Mahayana first before you dive into this book. Learn and master them. It is a great book otherwise, I just wish I knew about those other steps first.

clearest explaination of a process that is hard to put into words

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am so impressed with the writing in this book. The contemporary erudite way this book is written makes it a joy to read. I am looking forward to rereading this many times. Trungpa speaks of the Hindu Tantric path (alongside at times ) with the Tibetan and this fascinates me. I think this invaluable if you are interested in this topic.

This introduction to Tantric Buddhism explains the importance of mindfulness in mastering more advanced teachings. Chogyam Trungpa was a great story teller; this book like all of his books explains Tibetan Buddhism in a down to earth manner.

A good introductory text

May 10, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As someone who is beginning to study vajrayana practices, I found this a nice introduction to tantric practices and now I want to read more details, which this text does not provide. This felt like a teaser for wanting more. If you are a tantric practitioner, this may be too much of an introductory text.
