Recenzje

The teachings in this magical book come from the same period I first met Trungpa Rinpoche, which marked the radical turning point in my life. Reading this brought me right back to those days when he pointed out to me the pitfalls of spiritual materialism and how I could discover my own basic sanity. I hope a new generation of readers can catch the spark from the wisdom they will find here from Trungpa Rinpoche in his truest essence. Pema Chödrön, author of When Things Fall Apart

A book of deep wisdom that offers Trungpa s signature profundity permeated with humor, Cynicism and Magic illuminates the path of the heart-warrior with crystal clear light. There s a kind of music under these words a treasure! Devendra Banhart

This book shows Trungpa Rinpoche s genius, his superb talent in communicating traditional teachings of the Mahayana buddhadharma. He presents seminal topics in an elegant and easy-to-digest way, always full of humor and common sense. His ability remains unmatched among authors on the subject of buddhadharma. I am so glad that the addition of this book to the collected treasures of Trungpa Rinpoche s teachings will inspire, educate, and move generations to come. Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, author of Peaceful Heart
