Crazy Wisdom: The Life and Times of Chogyam Trungpa – by Johanna Demetrakas, 2011

Crazy Wisdom explores the life, teachings, and \”crazy wisdom\” of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, a pivotal figure in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Called a genius, rascal, and social visionary; one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the 20th century,” and “the bad boy of Buddhism,” Trungpa defied categorization. Raised and trained in the rigorous Tibetan monastic tradition, Trungpa came to the West and shattered our preconceived notions about how an enlightened teacher should behave. His teachings are recognized as authentic, vast, and influential.

Doors open at 6:30 PM.

This event is free and open to the public, no tickets required.
