In "The Heart of the Buddha," the Tibetan meditation master Chogyam
Trungpa presents the basic teachings of Buddhism as they relate to
everyday life. The book is divided into three parts. In "Personal
Journey," the author discusses the open, inquisitive, and
good-humored qualities of the "heart of the Buddha," an
"enlightened gene" that everyone possesses. In "Stages on the
Path," he presents the three vehicles--Hinayana, Mahayana, and
Vajrayana--that carry the Buddhist practitioner toward
enlightenment. In "Working with Others," he describes the direct
application of Buddhist teachings to topics as varied as
relationships, drinking, children, and money. "The Heart of the
Buddha "reflects Trungpa's great appreciation for Western culture
and deep understanding of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, which
enabled him to teach Westerners in an effective, contemporary way.
The first volume of this landmark series presents the teachings of
the Hinayana. The Hinayana introduces core Buddhist teachings on
the nature of mind, the practice of meditation, the reality of
suffering, and the possibility of liberation. It examines the
nature of suffering, impermanence, and egolessness, with an
emphasis on personal development through meditative discipline and
study.
Many of us, without even realizing it, are dominated by fear. We
might be aware of some of our fears--perhaps we are afraid of
public speaking, of financial hardship, or of losing a loved one.
Chogyam Trungpa shows us that most of us suffer from a far more
pervasive fearfulness: fear of ourselves. We feel ashamed and
embarrassed to look at our feelings or acknowledge our styles of
thinking and acting; we don't want to face the reality of our
moment-to-moment experience. It is this fear that keeps us trapped
in cycles of suffering, despair, and distress.
Chogyam Trungpa offers us a vision of moving beyond fear to
discover the innate bravery, trust, and delight in life that lies
at the core of our being. Drawing on the Shambhala Buddhist
teachings, he explains how we can each become a spiritual warrior:
a person who faces each moment of life with openness and
fearlessness. "The ultimate definition of bravery is not being
afraid of who you are," writes Chogyam Trungpa. In this book he
offers the insights and strategies to claim victory over fear.
More and more mental health professionals are discovering the rich
tradition of Buddhist psychology and integrating its insights into
their work with clients. Buddhist tradition teaches that all of us
are born with what Chogyam Trungpa terms "basic sanity," or
inherent goodness, health, and clear perception. Helping ourselves
and others to connect with this intrinsic ground of sanity and
health is the subject of this collection of teachings, which the
author gave to Western psychologists, psychotherapists, and
students of Buddhist meditation over a number of years. "The Sanity
We Are Born With" describes how anyone can strengthen their mental
health, and it also addresses the specific problems and needs of
people in profound psychological distress. Additionally, the author
speaks to the concerns of psychotherapists and any health care
professionals who work with their patients' states of mind. The
collection includes teachings on: Buddhist concepts of mind, ego,
and intelligence, and how these ideas can be employed in working on
oneself and with others meditation as a way of training the mind
and cultivating mindfulness nurturing our intrinsic health and
basic sanity guidance for psychotherapists and health professionals
Chogyam Trungpa's unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist
teachings in the language and imagery of modern American culture
makes his books among the most accessible works of Buddhist
philosophy. Here Trungpa explores the true meaning of freedom,
showing us how our preconceptions, attitudes, and even our
spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive
patterns of frustration and despair. This edition features a new
foreword by Pema Chodron, a close student of Trungpa and the
best-selling author of "When Things Fall Apart. "
Chogyam Trungpa describes "crazy wisdom" as an innocent state of
mind that has the quality of early morning--fresh, sparkling, and
completely awake. This fascinating book examines the life of
Padmasambhava--the revered Indian teacher who brought Buddhism to
Tibet--to illustrate the principle of crazy wisdom. From this
profound point of view, spiritual practice does not provide
comfortable answers to pain or confusion. On the contrary, painful
emotions can be appreciated as a challenging opportunity for new
discovery. In particular, the author discusses meditation as a
practical way to uncover one's own innate wisdom.
