"Each step along the way should be precious and holy to us." - Chögyam Trugpa Rinpoche

Bump!

That is well worth bumping! What a astonishing story. I actually was just listeing to a 36 hour lecture series by one of Trungpa's early students. And the student when describing his teacher's life overall did a great job, except for the part where he simply summed up Trungpa's journey by saying "China invaded and Trungpa went to India" ....Talk about an understatement. Great film, thanks for posting.

Agreed! Great film, incredible story. It's sobering to reflect on how close the west and the world was to losing the wisdom and genius of one of the great masters of the modern era.
