Chronicle ProjectI Urge and I Request
Text by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche: “More and more, I think it is just so unfortunate that Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche died so young. If he were alive, if he were here, he could spontaneously, from his ocean-like wisdom mind, fish out some sort of method of torma offering that is applicable to non-Tibetan minds. And if he did that, all the lamas would be behind him, definitely all the Kagyu and Nyingma lamas.”
tzal.orgTake it or leave it
“The beautiful thing about Buddhism, if I may say so, is that Buddhists don't try to con you. They just present what they have, say it as it is, take it or leave it.” ~ Chogyam Trungpa, from “True Perception”
tzal.orgReturning to the world
You have to go beyond duality and you also have to go beyond nonduality at the same time. You have to return to duality: that is the final goal. It is like the ox-herding pictures: finally you return to the world, with a big belly and with the ox behind you. That picture, returning to the world, is the final point. So you have duality; then you discover nonduality because of duality; then you transcend both nonduality and duality because of them. ~ Chögyam Trungpa in The Teacup and the Skullcup

tzal.orgSelf-deception's game
Self-deception means trying to re-create a past experience again and again, instead of actually having the experience in the present moment. In order to have the experience now, one would have to give up the evaluation of how wonderful the past was, because it is this memory which keeps it distant. If we had the experience continuously, it would seem quite ordinary, and it is this ordinariness that we cannot accept. We keep ourselves busy remembering the wonderful experience of openness we had in the past. This is self-deception’s game. ~ Chögyam Trungpa in Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism

chronicleprojectChögyam the Translator
“...he used to amazing effect the fact that no one expected him to speak syntactically perfect English. Subtle, complex, and mind-opening ambiguities, as well as multiple shades and layers of meaning emerged easily from his often slippery sentence structures. ... Trungpa Rinpoche spoke our language, with simplicity and directness. The kind of students he attracted never imagined they would learn his language, let alone recite liturgies or study commentaries in Tibetan. It had to be in English, and there seemed to be little effort needed, since he taught so completely in our language.”
