Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Times of CTR (film)

Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche (full documentary)


The Dalai Lama on Chogyam Trungpa
(RK) The Dalai Lama on the scandalous, sex-and-student-abusing "rinpoche" Chogyam Trungpa and his alleged "crazy wisdom" (that manifested as alcoholism, sexual abuse, and other absurdities in the guise of divine madness). From the Western Buddhist Teachers' Conference in 1993.


Chogyam Trungpa exposed by Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
(Rubin Museum, 2/2/12) Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo discusses her first encounters with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in England when she was 19.

Ha ha, Westerners love me. :P
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was later known as a "brilliant" "Bad Boy of Buddhism," pivotal in bringing Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana) to the West, but he seems to have been a fraud or at least someone with something to say who put on airs of spirituality while showing up others' errant ways. He influenced a great many Westerners, including the brilliant "Good Girl of Shambhala," Pema ChodronMore
