"It was not always easy to be the guru's wife," writes Diana Mukpo.
"But I must say, it was rarely boring." At the age of sixteen Diana
broke with her upper-class English family and left school to marry
Chogyam Trungpa, a young Tibetan lama who would go on to become a
major figure in the transmission of Buddhism to the West. Trungpa
attracted thousands of students in North America and is credited
for introducing many key Buddhist concepts into the English
language and psyche. During his lifetime he founded more than one
hundred meditation centers and authored dozens of popular books on
meditation and Buddhism. Among Asian masters living and teaching in
the West, Trungpa was known for having an unorthodox and
unpredictable teaching style - and for leading an unconventional
personal life.In "Dragon Thunder", the reader gets an intimate look
at this compelling and enigmatic figure through the eyes of his
wife of seventeen years. Diana herself led an extraordinary and
unusual life as the "first lady" of a burgeoning Buddhist community
in the American 1970s and 80s. Diana gave birth to four sons, three
of whom were recognized as "tulkus" or reincarnations of high
Tibetan lamas. It is not a simple matter to be a modern Western
woman married to a Tibetan lama, let along to be married to a man
who is adored and sought out by thousands of eager students.
Surprising events and colourful people fill the narrative as Diana
seeks to understand the dynamic, puzzling, and larger-than-life man
she married - and to find a place for herself in his unusual world.
