1
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:30,163
In a cave carved in the side of a 
mountain in the Himalayas,

2
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:34,964
a young abbot tibetan wrote a 
meditation for the world

3
00:00:35,832 --> 00:00:39,765
as he perceived it, and what could 
become of this.

4
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:42,324
The year was 1968.

5
00:00:45,433 --> 00:00:49,082
"Although I live in the mud and filth 
of the dark ages,

6
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,827
although stumbling against the thick 
fog of materialism,

7
00:00:57,755 --> 00:01:00,190
the tradition of meditation is waning,

8
00:01:00,215 --> 00:01:02,324
and we are drunk on spiritual pride".

9
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:11,741
This is considered as a was very grim.

10
00:01:11,765 --> 00:01:17,098
In a time in which the sensatéz of 
the world has disappeared in a
certain sense.

11
00:01:20,382 --> 00:01:23,428
This is the time of hell on Earth...

12
00:01:24,065 --> 00:01:26,786
the sadness that is constantly with 
us,

13
00:01:26,811 --> 00:01:28,998
and the depression fills our minds.

14
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,433
The chinese had invaded...

15
00:01:34,725 --> 00:01:40,991
and there was a previous era in which 
Tibet was a spiritual paradise.

16
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,168
But now it was a living hell.

17
00:01:45,993 --> 00:01:51,201
The teachings were going to lose, if 
they could not be transferred to the 
west,

18
00:01:51,337 --> 00:01:57,337
then his whole function in life was 
to make that transfer.

19
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:08,899
Looked like that was a necessity. He 
never gave up with no one.

20
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,253
In showing us the full potential of 
our humanity

21
00:02:14,656 --> 00:02:19,407
The heretics and bandits of hope and 
fear are transformed...

22
00:02:19,588 --> 00:02:21,845
the "Crazy wisdom".

23
00:02:29,958 --> 00:02:34,243
Crazy wisdom.

24
00:02:45,577 --> 00:02:48,378
The person with the "Crazy wisdom", 
which is...

25
00:02:48,379 --> 00:02:52,918
the direct translation of the tibetan 
yeshe chölwa".

26
00:02:53,399 --> 00:02:58,693
"Yeshe" means wisdom, "Chölwa" is to 
become wild.

27
00:02:59,438 --> 00:03:07,042
Then it would be something like: 
insanity turned into wisdom.

28
00:03:09,694 --> 00:03:15,366
We had this conversation back in the 
72, I think, in San Francisco.

29
00:03:16,732 --> 00:03:19,843
We were comparing our itineraries and 
I said:

30
00:03:19,844 --> 00:03:25,185
"Don't you get tired of being 
constantly on the move?, I if."

31
00:03:25,186 --> 00:03:27,629
He said, "Oh, it's because you don't 
like your poetry".

32
00:03:27,654 --> 00:03:29,922
I told him "I'm Not sure of that."

33
00:03:30,046 --> 00:03:34,101
He said: why don't you do like the 
great poets?

34
00:03:34,165 --> 00:03:37,272
Why not leave the stage and compose?

35
00:03:37,297 --> 00:03:41,344
What for you need a paper, don't 
trust your own mind?

36
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:47,398
"The red flag flies over the Potala,

37
00:03:49,245 --> 00:03:52,512
the people of Tibet are drowning in a 
sea of blood.

38
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:57,491
A vampire army occupies the mountains 
and plains,

39
00:03:58,802 --> 00:04:04,460
but the dignity of exist never wanes."

40
00:04:21,602 --> 00:04:28,753
When I was 18 months Chogyam Trungpa 
was recognized as a master 
reincarnated.

41
00:04:30,404 --> 00:04:35,404
At that time he was given the title 
"Rinpoche," which means precious 
jewel.

42
00:04:36,072 --> 00:04:40,488
That generation was the last 
generation that was able to get

43
00:04:40,513 --> 00:04:44,708
the full training in Tibet with the 
greatest masters.

44
00:04:45,833 --> 00:04:50,092
The meditation of my father, and 
everything else is made easier,

45
00:04:51,361 --> 00:04:52,628
and became stronger.

46
00:04:54,405 --> 00:04:57,263
To Chogyam Trungpa was assigned to a 
teacher...

47
00:04:57,264 --> 00:05:03,578
that was a person extremadamenet wise.

48
00:05:04,417 --> 00:05:10,931
"Khenpo Gangshar Wangpo" meaning the
lord of everything that comes up.

49
00:05:14,557 --> 00:05:18,790
The monks usually were sitting with 
the "mala" or prayer beads

50
00:05:18,815 --> 00:05:22,518
counting beads and chanting the 
mantra,

51
00:05:22,820 --> 00:05:27,324
and Khenpo Gangshar came and snatched 
the "bad"

52
00:05:27,349 --> 00:05:31,312
of the hands to a monk and he tore it 
and said:

53
00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:36,938
I...aggression, ...craving, 
...ignorance!

54
00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:39,852
It was demonstrated that they were 
doing something for

55
00:05:39,878 --> 00:05:42,491
custom that didn't have a real 
meaning.

56
00:05:42,841 --> 00:05:47,096
I said that I should go to see him.

57
00:05:47,121 --> 00:05:54,279
I did not dare, always ran.

58
00:05:54,281 --> 00:05:57,882
If he said or did something, I was 
terrified.

59
00:05:59,782 --> 00:06:04,681
Drawing from his monastery, Surmang - 
by Chogyam Trungpa

60
00:06:09,075 --> 00:06:13,962
The chinese presenting the doctrine 
called communism

61
00:06:13,987 --> 00:06:18,606
and realizing that they can't 
indoctrinate anyone,

62
00:06:18,853 --> 00:06:23,369
they had to push much harder.

63
00:06:30,813 --> 00:06:32,106
Attacked Surmang.

64
00:06:32,178 --> 00:06:35,139
The chinese troops stormed the 
libraries

65
00:06:35,165 --> 00:06:37,400
and kicked out all the valuable books.

66
00:06:38,162 --> 00:06:41,631
The treasures of precious metals in 
the shrines

67
00:06:41,764 --> 00:06:44,349
were destroyed and shipped to China.

68
00:06:44,875 --> 00:06:47,532
Even desecrated the tomb of the Tenth 
Trungpa

69
00:06:47,557 --> 00:06:50,438
and they left exposed the embalmed 
corpse.

70
00:06:51,676 --> 00:06:53,936
Born in Tibet. <-O->- Chogyam Trungpa.

71
00:06:57,183 --> 00:07:01,791
Khenpo Gangshar told people, 
"Everything that we've

72
00:07:01,816 --> 00:07:06,590
been doing here in terms of buddhism 
has ended."

73
00:07:08,975 --> 00:07:14,629
Khenpo Gangshar said, "we Cannot 
fight against the chinese communists

74
00:07:15,514 --> 00:07:19,244
and we should surrender."

75
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,448
That is the sign of "surrender" to 
the chinese.

76
00:07:33,503 --> 00:07:36,149
Had to leave my country.

77
00:07:38,702 --> 00:07:41,842
We were like 300 in the group.

78
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,440
It took four months to horse

79
00:07:48,638 --> 00:07:50,544
and six months walk

80
00:07:50,996 --> 00:07:53,571
to be able to come to India.

81
00:07:56,726 --> 00:08:01,685
Although Chogyam was so young, he 
knew exactly

82
00:08:01,686 --> 00:08:03,961
what we had to do to get there.

83
00:08:04,498 --> 00:08:06,852
Somehow, I don't know how, he managed.

84
00:08:07,234 --> 00:08:11,410
Had No compass, but I had very good 
binoculars...

85
00:08:12,043 --> 00:08:15,820
and I could see to a great distance.

86
00:08:15,872 --> 00:08:18,848
Then we have to hide in the day

87
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:21,516
and walking at night through

88
00:08:21,518 --> 00:08:25,016
of the mountains and the ice.

89
00:08:25,042 --> 00:08:27,956
And then start walking into the river.

90
00:08:28,605 --> 00:08:32,351
When we reach the other side, we know 
that we have little time.

91
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:39,978
The difficulty is not having enough 
food.

92
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:43,030
And people are dying of hunger.

93
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:49,326
We ended up cooking our laces.

94
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,886
Cutting them in pieces and cook.

95
00:08:53,912 --> 00:08:58,257
I agree masticándolas... it was so 
horrible!

96
00:08:59,905 --> 00:09:02,392
If they attack us, we must not kill 
any chinese.

97
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:06,433
We must not steal what belongs to 
another in the journey.

98
00:09:06,435 --> 00:09:10,107
There should not be disagreements 
between us.

99
00:09:14,355 --> 00:09:15,968
Each one of us has weapons.

100
00:09:19,005 --> 00:09:22,293
But in our group no one killed 
anything.

101
00:09:26,579 --> 00:09:30,608
Ten months later, 13 of the 300 people

102
00:09:30,634 --> 00:09:34,755
who escaped and crossed the border to 
India.

103
00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:39,725
Some died of starvation. Others

104
00:09:39,751 --> 00:09:44,180
fired, arrested, or simply 
disappeared.

105
00:09:45,455 --> 00:09:47,636
Still, others continued to Trungpa 
and got

106
00:09:47,662 --> 00:09:50,478
get to a safe place months after.

107
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,506
The Indian Air Force flew to Chogyam 
Trungpa of the border to her freedom.

108
00:10:00,205 --> 00:10:04,394
"When the bird of iron flies, the 
buddhism will travel

109
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:08,607
to the land of the red man." 
Padmasambhava, 800 D. C.

110
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:16,663
My work is dedicated to present a

111
00:10:16,689 --> 00:10:21,155
notion of enlightenment to the west.

112
00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:29,074
The world is not going to be rescued 
very simply, only by the

113
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:36,532
religion, but that can also be 
rescued by lighting.

114
00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:42,282
This world needs both of your help.

115
00:10:42,897 --> 00:10:47,844
So part of this world... I would like 
to turn

116
00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:52,457
you to come in and do something about 
it.

117
00:10:53,650 --> 00:10:57,303
You need enormous faith in the people 
to create a

118
00:10:57,329 --> 00:11:01,257
enlightened society. You can not have 
a attitude part.

119
00:11:02,505 --> 00:11:06,798
And he had that kind of faith, it was 
not because

120
00:11:06,824 --> 00:11:10,753
we were amazing people, but by

121
00:11:10,779 --> 00:11:16,585
the appreciation inherent Trungpa

122
00:11:16,587 --> 00:11:19,979
by the wisdom of the world.

123
00:11:21,855 --> 00:11:25,105
The main point seems to be about...

124
00:11:28,405 --> 00:11:30,605
this life.

125
00:11:30,636 --> 00:11:32,255
Don't be a coward

126
00:11:34,030 --> 00:11:36,631
with fear of seeing things.

127
00:11:38,525 --> 00:11:41,031
With fear of being busy.

128
00:11:47,905 --> 00:11:49,650
With fear of smile.

129
00:11:53,405 --> 00:11:57,350
With fear of acknowledging that we 
are basically good.

130
00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:06,855
Or as they call americans: 
"chickening out"

131
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:20,481
1963 - Chogyam Trungpa received a 
scholarship to study in England.

132
00:12:21,005 --> 00:12:25,781
When I met him he was still a monk 
with his robe

133
00:12:26,805 --> 00:12:30,257
and I seemed to be extremely young,

134
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:37,132
almost ethereal, as if he could 
become light at any time.

135
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:41,233
A bit like a beautiful flower.

136
00:12:42,380 --> 00:12:45,358
All his gestures seemed pure.

137
00:12:47,150 --> 00:12:53,883
Now I don't remember what he said, 
but we were overwhelmed by your 
presence.

138
00:12:54,455 --> 00:12:59,634
It seems somewhat naive to say 
something like that, but I had 
something very special.

139
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,672
Dharma:

140
00:13:10,698 --> 00:13:13,298
The body of teachings

141
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:16,406
used to open the mind of a student

142
00:13:18,580 --> 00:13:22,653
to the reality of things

143
00:13:22,655 --> 00:13:28,008
the reality of things as they are in 
reality.

144
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:40,145
I was going through a period in which 
I was examining as I was going to 
teach.

145
00:13:41,105 --> 00:13:43,306
I think I wasn't yet sure of what it 
would be

146
00:13:43,332 --> 00:13:45,395
the best way to teach to westerners.

147
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:50,115
Rinpoche was doing several courses to

148
00:13:50,141 --> 00:13:53,621
become familiar with the western 
culture.

149
00:13:59,155 --> 00:14:04,531
I was trying to deduce the experience 
directly for themselves

150
00:14:04,557 --> 00:14:09,847
same, the suffering of the human 
condition in the west.

151
00:14:10,685 --> 00:14:14,195
It seemed that he wanted to reach a 
reverence

152
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:17,798
of suffering, and say: This is what 
is happening

153
00:14:18,455 --> 00:14:22,817
and be able to have the words that we

154
00:14:22,843 --> 00:14:26,874
we could understand, and would allow 
us to say: yes!

155
00:14:30,655 --> 00:14:35,649
1967 - Trungpa Rinpoche and Akong 
Rimpoche created Samye Ling in 
Scotland

156
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,222
The first Buddhist Center Tibetan in 
the west.

157
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:51,548
There was an article in the 
supplement in color of the Telegraph.

158
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:55,879
And there was a picture of the whole 
page in full color with

159
00:14:55,905 --> 00:14:59,273
Trungpa and Akong standing on the 
lawn, to the front.

160
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,005
And when you see it I said to myself: 
"I have to be with him."

161
00:15:02,805 --> 00:15:06,680
So I quit my job and gave my house 
and I went to Eskdalemuir.

162
00:15:12,830 --> 00:15:16,220
He studied at the University of 
Cambridge

163
00:15:16,246 --> 00:15:19,056
and I decided to start again with him.

164
00:15:20,855 --> 00:15:24,427
Legué to the station of Lockerbie 
late at night.

165
00:15:24,453 --> 00:15:27,406
There was not public transport to 
take me.

166
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,547
Then I walked up to Samye Ling, which 
are more like 27 miles.

167
00:15:33,573 --> 00:15:36,206
I think I had to take 6 hours.

168
00:15:38,330 --> 00:15:44,170
For me, its mandate was always that 
the biggest change

169
00:15:44,196 --> 00:15:49,932
should be internal, and that without
meditation there is no progress

170
00:15:51,125 --> 00:15:54,132
The teachings were at times in the 
moment, in

171
00:15:54,158 --> 00:15:57,883
conversation, in their room. 
Sometimes very late in the night.

172
00:15:58,655 --> 00:16:02,533
That was where I learned more.

173
00:16:04,230 --> 00:16:08,042
We got into many problems because 
then we slept

174
00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:11,334
until late and we did not do the 
morning meditation.

175
00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:17,441
Rinpoche also left Samye Ling and 
change their

176
00:16:17,467 --> 00:16:21,784
blanket common clothes and wandered 
around London.

177
00:16:22,705 --> 00:16:26,937
And he said that he loved the cinema, 
as they were red velvet

178
00:16:26,963 --> 00:16:31,130
dark and reminded her of Tibet. Had
that warmth that I missed.

179
00:16:32,905 --> 00:16:35,633
He had been working in an office as a 
translator

180
00:16:35,659 --> 00:16:37,780
and he invited me to be his private 
secretary.

181
00:16:38,606 --> 00:16:43,781
He said that he planned to travel to 
Bhutan and India

182
00:16:44,576 --> 00:16:49,006
and he asked me if I wanted to go 
with him. Of course I said yes.

183
00:16:54,031 --> 00:16:58,882
My trip to Bhutan was an invitation 
from the Queen of Bhutan

184
00:16:59,981 --> 00:17:05,757
and take my retreat at Taktsang where 
you actually meditated.

185
00:17:06,606 --> 00:17:10,351
Rinpoche said here was supposed to be 
where guru Padmasambhava

186
00:17:10,377 --> 00:17:14,283
had thrown her rosary of crystal and 
had become a waterfall.

187
00:17:22,814 --> 00:17:28,070
800 D. C. The great indian saint, 
Padmasambhava

188
00:17:29,292 --> 00:17:31,802
stopped the spread of the wars

189
00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:34,695
tribal for bringing buddhism to Tibet.

190
00:17:39,136 --> 00:17:42,671
Being in Taktsang is not very 
impressive at the beginning.

191
00:17:43,817 --> 00:17:47,401
What is this place? Because it is 
assumed that it is amazing what

192
00:17:47,427 --> 00:17:50,646
is going on here? Maybe I chose the 
wrong place.

193
00:17:52,144 --> 00:17:55,022
Perhaps there is a Taktsang on the 
other hand, the true Taktsang.

194
00:17:57,624 --> 00:18:01,872
But in reality there are energies and 
powers are immense.

195
00:18:02,694 --> 00:18:04,873
Things start to arise.

196
00:18:10,239 --> 00:18:13,123
Although I live in the mud and filth
of the dark ages,

197
00:18:14,459 --> 00:18:18,319
although stumbling against the thick 
fog of materialism,

198
00:18:19,539 --> 00:18:24,154
The Sadhana came to me without 
problems.

199
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:28,794
It took Me like 5 hours to write it 
all

200
00:18:33,539 --> 00:18:36,611
The Dharma is used for personal 
benefit, and the rio

201
00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:39,770
materialism has grown beyond its 
shores.

202
00:18:41,064 --> 00:18:44,946
THE materialistic point of view 
dominates everywhere.

203
00:18:48,014 --> 00:18:52,646
When it came to the Sadhana to his 
mind was a realization

204
00:18:53,414 --> 00:18:58,373
and that was what was written. The 
idea of the dark ages.

205
00:18:58,399 --> 00:19:01,989
Spiritual values had been lost.

206
00:19:02,939 --> 00:19:08,564
We can see all the damage we have
done to the planet, because of the 
materialism.

207
00:19:10,739 --> 00:19:12,939
And that hypocrisy is incredible.

208
00:19:18,114 --> 00:19:20,877
Trungpa rinpoche returns to Scotland 
with the liturgy

209
00:19:20,903 --> 00:19:23,664
he wrote in the cave of Padmasambhava.

210
00:19:26,589 --> 00:19:30,758
Trungpa Rinpoche had come to the west 
to transmit

211
00:19:30,784 --> 00:19:34,664
the teachings authentic buddhism to 
westerners.

212
00:19:36,314 --> 00:19:40,055
Akong wanted the Centre Samye Ling in 
Scotland

213
00:19:40,081 --> 00:19:43,439
outside of a home for tibetan 
refugees.

214
00:19:44,564 --> 00:19:47,257
Then, they had points of view very 
different, for

215
00:19:47,283 --> 00:19:49,764
that are development a lot of 
conflict between them.

216
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:55,596
People used to get mad a lot because 
I was not teaching, and they wanted to

217
00:19:55,622 --> 00:20:00,189
the teaching to satisfy their own 
greed spiritual

218
00:20:00,664 --> 00:20:04,935
to be able to say that they were 
disciples of Trungpa rinpoche, and is 
doing

219
00:20:04,961 --> 00:20:08,968
this to take me on the path to 
liberation, or something like that.

220
00:20:10,014 --> 00:20:16,024
And they realized that in reality I 
wasn't doing anything, just

221
00:20:16,050 --> 00:20:21,889
this drunk or trying to seduce my 
girlfriend, or being extravagant.

222
00:20:28,514 --> 00:20:31,640
It was absolutely electrifying that 
first time

223
00:20:31,666 --> 00:20:34,790
I saw it, I had never passed anything
like this.

224
00:20:35,739 --> 00:20:41,640
I was at school in Cambridge and had 
to find a way to go.

225
00:20:42,614 --> 00:20:46,016
I spent at least 24 hours in bed with 
the

226
00:20:47,389 --> 00:20:50,057
I think that was the first time in my 
life that I felt

227
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:52,641
that I could communicate completely 
with someone.

228
00:20:54,314 --> 00:20:57,542
At some point I said, maybe one day 
we could marry.

229
00:20:57,914 --> 00:21:01,667
And I said: "Oh definitely, yes!, I 
would love to do that."

230
00:21:05,089 --> 00:21:10,759
Had to do the shopping, so we drove 
to nearby villages.

231
00:21:10,785 --> 00:21:15,968
Surely that was the time when Trungpa 
and Akron learned to handle.

232
00:21:16,889 --> 00:21:20,301
Were lost-time cases to handle, none
of the

233
00:21:20,327 --> 00:21:23,389
two grew up with paved roads or 
traffic.

234
00:21:24,064 --> 00:21:28,864
I always thought that you should not 
let a rear tibetan behind the wheel.

235
00:21:31,164 --> 00:21:33,461
I had heard that he was the best 
pilot,

236
00:21:33,487 --> 00:21:36,170
I was with a girl in the car and I 
don't know if

237
00:21:36,196 --> 00:21:38,755
he had taken but the car went out of 
control

238
00:21:38,781 --> 00:21:40,990
and went through the window of a 
tavern.

239
00:21:46,634 --> 00:21:49,418
And there was Trungpa Rinpoche in a 
camillaen the corridor,

240
00:21:49,444 --> 00:21:53,900
had cut the throat, and had many 
stitches, and after

241
00:21:53,926 --> 00:21:57,816
they found that he was paralyzed on 
the left side.

242
00:22:05,309 --> 00:22:09,124
I was so sore, and it took quite some 
time before I could

243
00:22:09,150 --> 00:22:12,617
recover some movement on the left 
side of the body.

244
00:22:16,109 --> 00:22:20,543
I couldn't cook for himself, or make 
the bed

245
00:22:20,709 --> 00:22:24,059
nor is it that you remember wanting 
to make a bed...

246
00:22:29,709 --> 00:22:32,751
You couldn't be with him without 
realizing that

247
00:22:32,777 --> 00:22:35,689
there was an internal struggle 
extraordinary in the.

248
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,540
I think that this time period in 
particular was one

249
00:22:41,566 --> 00:22:43,640
of the darkest moments of his life.

250
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:51,009
Before the accident Trungpa rinpoche 
had spoken about the dilemma he felt

251
00:22:51,561 --> 00:22:55,409
he called it "the golden Buddha on 
the pedestal"

252
00:22:58,636 --> 00:23:06,536
The main point is to be able to teach 
completely in the western world.

253
00:23:07,411 --> 00:23:11,770
It also feels a fascination

254
00:23:11,796 --> 00:23:16,384
general on the response of the people,

255
00:23:16,386 --> 00:23:23,412
and when I speak to them with the 
mantle, not hear you but look at your 
mantle.

256
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:29,063
The people could not ok, I think that 
they felt threatened.

257
00:23:30,019 --> 00:23:32,651
The English, with their sense of 
convention would have

258
00:23:33,603 --> 00:23:36,259
wanted to have something like a 
"Guru-pet"

259
00:23:36,338 --> 00:23:39,996
and at the same time the tibetans 
wanted to use his mantle and

260
00:23:40,022 --> 00:23:43,739
was hidden behind this subtle sense 
of superiority tibetan.

261
00:23:44,063 --> 00:23:46,776
The was completely unusual and 
genuine being

262
00:23:46,802 --> 00:23:49,514
who, in reality, it was and was 
rejected by it.

263
00:23:54,013 --> 00:23:56,890
I said that I felt that I was at a 
critical point in his life.

264
00:23:57,888 --> 00:24:01,528
"I'm on the verge of becoming 
enlightened, and when it comes to

265
00:24:01,554 --> 00:24:05,005
this time, go crazy or attain 
realization."

266
00:24:05,788 --> 00:24:09,337
Which, of course, made me feel 
anxiety because I had finished to 
marry with the

267
00:24:10,958 --> 00:24:15,348
Diana, 16, runs away to marry a monk.

268
00:24:16,218 --> 00:24:17,786
After it all happened very quickly.

269
00:24:17,788 --> 00:24:23,269
It was the catalyst for the 
transformation,

270
00:24:23,271 --> 00:24:25,358
the rise in the world.

271
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:28,625
And surrender to the personality of 
the monastic,

272
00:24:28,651 --> 00:24:31,589
and the rest, as they say, is history.

273
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:37,723
What made you commit for 3 years

274
00:24:37,749 --> 00:24:41,461
of your life to him? What you have 
kept him?

275
00:24:44,405 --> 00:24:47,172
It was not that I compromised. It 
sounds as if

276
00:24:47,198 --> 00:24:49,963
it would have made a generous offer, 
it was not so.

277
00:24:51,285 --> 00:24:54,338
It was not felt as if you were 
compromising my life, you know...

278
00:25:00,580 --> 00:25:02,014
I loved to be with him.

279
00:25:06,735 --> 00:25:09,256
And it is 40 years ago...

280
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:16,932
that was such a good friend...

281
00:25:25,628 --> 00:25:28,183
is gone, but he was a good friend.

282
00:25:30,353 --> 00:25:34,040
Therefore it was not a commitment...

283
00:25:34,066 --> 00:25:38,108
but that came naturally.

284
00:25:39,175 --> 00:25:41,125
This is for that.

285
00:25:44,753 --> 00:25:47,175
It came and went.

286
00:25:53,578 --> 00:25:55,728
Shambhala:

287
00:25:57,053 --> 00:25:58,645
Ancient teachings of how to create.

288
00:25:59,350 --> 00:26:01,561
Ancient teachings of how to create an 
enlightened society

289
00:26:01,563 --> 00:26:03,999
based on the courage

290
00:26:04,001 --> 00:26:07,573
based on courage and compassion.

291
00:26:08,738 --> 00:26:12,441
He met another of the major "tulkus", 
its the same

292
00:26:12,443 --> 00:26:15,843
age, whom he had known in Tibet,

293
00:26:16,163 --> 00:26:22,675
Thrangu Rinpoche, in India, asked: 
What are you going to do now?

294
00:26:23,338 --> 00:26:26,968
And he pulled out his mirror.

295
00:26:28,403 --> 00:26:33,181
A small mirror metal that had hung in 
the neck.

296
00:26:33,588 --> 00:26:38,714
Your mirror was a form of prophesy, 
to see the future in the mirror.

297
00:26:39,763 --> 00:26:42,564
And began to look in the mirror.

298
00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:48,388
And to describe the Shambhala.

299
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:53,990
And he said it as if you were there, 
and I can see.

300
00:26:55,538 --> 00:26:58,314
That was the only clue he gave that 
he was going to

301
00:26:58,340 --> 00:27:01,241
go to the united States to find the 
Shambhala.

302
00:27:24,288 --> 00:27:28,458
Stop bombing human beings, animals 
and vegetation. If Jesus Christ

303
00:27:28,484 --> 00:27:32,190
were here tonight, would not dare to 
drop another bomb.

304
00:27:36,388 --> 00:27:39,284
It was a tumultuous time where there 
was a

305
00:27:39,310 --> 00:27:42,063
a passionate search for a meaning.

306
00:27:43,455 --> 00:27:47,685
It had to do with resistance to the 
Vietnam war and

307
00:27:47,711 --> 00:27:51,940
the role of the united States looking 
for aggression that way.

308
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,174
The motivation for a radical action 
policy

309
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,216
was the introspection about human 
liberation.

310
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,516
That human beings had a great 
potential for freedom.

311
00:28:12,265 --> 00:28:15,992
Freedom of expression, of emotion and 
of thought.

312
00:28:16,815 --> 00:28:23,105
There was a personal aspect in the 
path of growth. The release

313
00:28:23,131 --> 00:28:29,743
personal and the political could not
be separated but to be part of the 
same path.

314
00:28:37,424 --> 00:28:41,568
First Meditation Center founded by 
Trungpa in the united States.

315
00:28:46,492 --> 00:28:50,075
In the summer of ' 70 we moved our 
apartment

316
00:28:50,101 --> 00:28:53,443
by a car and decided to make a trip 
in the.

317
00:28:53,469 --> 00:28:56,665
It turned out to be a summer very 
crazy and psychedelic.

318
00:28:56,667 --> 00:28:59,473
Park to the front of a farm, very 
dirty,

319
00:28:59,499 --> 00:29:04,350
with junk cars and washing machines

320
00:29:04,817 --> 00:29:06,905
with hippies ragged wandering.

321
00:29:06,907 --> 00:29:11,625
We rang at the door and a woman 
opened it, Fran, and asked me:

322
00:29:11,651 --> 00:29:15,518
What do you do? And I said: I Am as 
an artist.

323
00:29:15,742 --> 00:29:19,199
She said: "Oh my God, come quick! And 
it took me to

324
00:29:19,225 --> 00:29:22,515
a cuartico in the background, opened 
the door and said:

325
00:29:22,517 --> 00:29:25,547
"What I found" and he said, "Oh, I've 
been waiting for, sit down".

326
00:29:25,573 --> 00:29:28,368
He had asked her to go get someone 
who know to draw.

327
00:29:29,967 --> 00:29:34,118
There was a weekend program called 
"Work, sex and money".

328
00:29:34,642 --> 00:29:38,219
And I thought: "I am interested in 
those things" not in that order 
necessarily.

329
00:29:39,667 --> 00:29:43,049
The truth I saw it as a buddhist, I 
was not looking for

330
00:29:43,075 --> 00:29:46,219
buddhism, or any path, religious in 
particular.

331
00:29:46,662 --> 00:29:50,634
I just thought that it was someone 
who told the truth, in fact, I 
thought that the

332
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:54,993
invented, only that it was so 
insightful that I could point out the 
nature of reality.

333
00:29:55,592 --> 00:29:58,169
When we speak of the tradition 
tártrica,

334
00:29:58,195 --> 00:30:00,770
we do not speak simply of play with 
sex.

335
00:30:01,417 --> 00:30:05,656
or "dzogchen" or "kaulas", the 
phenomenal world.

336
00:30:05,658 --> 00:30:08,702
We do not talk about those areas yet.

337
00:30:08,845 --> 00:30:13,976
We have to be very interested in the 
basic aspects of the

338
00:30:14,002 --> 00:30:18,288
matter instead of thinking that 
everything is going to be very good

339
00:30:18,314 --> 00:30:21,002
and "great" and not wonder why,

340
00:30:21,004 --> 00:30:24,920
"if you ask them that is your 
problem, but if not, everything will 
be fine."

341
00:30:24,922 --> 00:30:30,484
"Let's dance and we play music 
together, drink honey with milk."

342
00:30:36,044 --> 00:30:37,796
So does not work

343
00:30:41,219 --> 00:30:44,297
He had begun to draw this letter 
called "a"

344
00:30:45,769 --> 00:30:50,209
that is the "syllable seed" for them, 
as the bird of all

345
00:30:50,235 --> 00:30:54,222
what has been created. Is the 
"syllable seed" primary.

346
00:30:54,819 --> 00:30:57,473
It can be simplified as a point in 
space.

347
00:30:59,659 --> 00:31:01,922
Then I sat for two hours and he knew 
how to

348
00:31:01,948 --> 00:31:04,635
worked the eye, I knew of geometry 
and Botticelli

349
00:31:05,541 --> 00:31:09,437
and while more remained, I thought: 
That experience, at the end of a 
teacher

350
00:31:09,463 --> 00:31:13,136
really, because I thought that was an 
artist, a hippie tibetan.

351
00:31:14,961 --> 00:31:18,336
Immersed himself fully in american 
culture when he arrived here.

352
00:31:18,811 --> 00:31:22,025
And it was not in a calculated way, 
which was going to act and

353
00:31:22,051 --> 00:31:25,486
dressing like a hippie to be able to 
communicate with them

354
00:31:25,536 --> 00:31:28,590
but I was fascinated by what he was 
doing

355
00:31:28,616 --> 00:31:31,812
the people basically wanted to devour 
him whole.

356
00:31:31,936 --> 00:31:37,410
In a moment I was concerned about the
issue of celibacy, because I had read 
all the

357
00:31:37,436 --> 00:31:39,799
books of hindu yoga, who taught what

358
00:31:39,825 --> 00:31:42,809
important that was the celibacy in 
the meditation

359
00:31:44,881 --> 00:31:49,359
and just when I was going to ask 
about it, someone knock at the door.

360
00:31:50,136 --> 00:31:53,455
It was Diana, and said: "come lovely."

361
00:31:53,481 --> 00:31:56,510
And he had a towel yellow that barely 
covered it

362
00:31:56,762 --> 00:32:00,061
and I didn't know whether to look at 
the floor or her.

363
00:32:00,087 --> 00:32:03,385
And then she kissed it and said, "I 
almost go to bed, precious."

364
00:32:04,262 --> 00:32:06,361
She was and I had to ask nothing.

365
00:32:13,987 --> 00:32:19,262
He taught you as a human being, he
never said follow me

366
00:32:20,012 --> 00:32:24,101
imítenme, but said, "I am completely 
who I am and I want

367
00:32:24,127 --> 00:32:27,687
help you to understand how to be 
completely who you are."

368
00:32:29,287 --> 00:32:34,337
And he said, "studying the dharma 
that is the truth of trusting who you 
are"

369
00:32:35,437 --> 00:32:39,726
discover your own basic goodness, 
your innate wisdom, and the

370
00:32:39,752 --> 00:32:44,238
importance of being compassionate" 
that has nothing to do with religion

371
00:32:47,737 --> 00:32:54,364
The sanctuary was the attic of an old 
farm, that had a few posts

372
00:32:55,112 --> 00:32:57,316
and these studs became a favourite 
place

373
00:32:57,342 --> 00:32:59,339
for support during sitting meditation

374
00:33:00,287 --> 00:33:04,750
to be able to doze off, or hold and 
go for the easy way out.

375
00:33:04,752 --> 00:33:09,735
One day we went to the shrine and 
there were no posts.

376
00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:12,034
He had gone two weeks before and had 
requested

377
00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:14,592
that taken away from you without us 
to know.

378
00:33:15,487 --> 00:33:19,984
That was how it worked, most of the 
times it was

379
00:33:20,010 --> 00:33:24,591
a small change, nothing showy, but 
suddenly

380
00:33:25,237 --> 00:33:28,609
where you used to pass the time and 
let you fall, no

381
00:33:28,635 --> 00:33:31,741
I was comfortable, then now you have 
to hold.

382
00:33:41,887 --> 00:33:48,012
This is a picture of the door of 
Karmê Chöling, was a white gate

383
00:33:48,865 --> 00:33:53,003
of an old farm, despintandose and 
said that he wanted to

384
00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:57,088
paint it as the input for the Dharma 
in the west.

385
00:33:57,765 --> 00:33:59,041
It was very important.

386
00:34:01,365 --> 00:34:06,605
I mean, sacred geometry and how it 
intersected with

387
00:34:06,631 --> 00:34:11,967
how they were willing your eyes on 
geometric patterns

388
00:34:12,825 --> 00:34:17,555
and as the geometry of the door would 
go directly

389
00:34:17,581 --> 00:34:21,568
to your eye and cause signals in your 
brain.

390
00:34:24,140 --> 00:34:26,768
We were not able to prepare the color 
turquoise

391
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:29,768
leave all materials in the shed

392
00:34:29,794 --> 00:34:32,412
and there was a girl of about 5 years 
playing and

393
00:34:32,438 --> 00:34:35,367
when we went to the store for the 
teachings,

394
00:34:35,769 --> 00:34:37,921
she threw all the paints into a bucket

395
00:34:37,947 --> 00:34:39,905
and I had mixed and when we came back,

396
00:34:39,931 --> 00:34:41,644
we saw that it was the turquoise 
perfect

397
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:46,540
and it was already getting dark, so 
Trungpa rinpoche said that it was 
perfect.

398
00:34:47,890 --> 00:34:52,354
We put all the cars and put them in a 
semi-circle with the lights on

399
00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:56,190
in the shed, while he monitored the 
implementation of the turquoise.

400
00:35:11,660 --> 00:35:16,848
There is a legend of the Buddha, 
where the clubhouse blossomed a 
lotus. Almost all

401
00:35:16,874 --> 00:35:22,253
parties where you got Trungpa in the 
united States there was a Tibetan 
Center

402
00:35:22,255 --> 00:35:26,030
Trungpa established Boulder, Colorado 
as the center of their community.

403
00:35:32,985 --> 00:35:39,481
In the first year, I invite the whole 
community that it will fit in your 
room

404
00:35:39,660 --> 00:35:43,594
to visit him and asked him to all that

405
00:35:43,620 --> 00:35:47,732
bring their bags of marijuana or 
another drug.

406
00:35:48,087 --> 00:35:50,550
And half of them thought: "my god, my 
God, this

407
00:35:50,576 --> 00:35:53,209
guru is so cool, want to smoke with 
us."

408
00:35:55,585 --> 00:35:59,374
They all arrived and were in very 
good mood and asked them to

409
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,380
put all the paraphernalia in a large 
tray in the center

410
00:36:05,485 --> 00:36:07,955
and the fireplace was lit,

411
00:36:07,981 --> 00:36:10,530
all very homey and wonderful.

412
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:18,932
He began to greet and talk to 
everyone and was pulling a bag

413
00:36:18,958 --> 00:36:24,508
drug after another to the fire by 
making sparks and reventándose

414
00:36:25,535 --> 00:36:30,285
and began singing, "we're burning the

415
00:36:30,311 --> 00:36:36,034
self-deception," with each bag, the 
fire burned more.

416
00:36:37,285 --> 00:36:40,715
Assuming that you, or the so-called 
"you"-,

417
00:36:40,741 --> 00:36:43,455
since we do not know if we exist or 
not...

418
00:36:44,460 --> 00:36:47,555
The so-called "you" is lit...

419
00:36:52,135 --> 00:36:53,581
And what about after that?

420
00:37:14,435 --> 00:37:20,314
Of course, the automatic response is: 
"I become Buddha, the enlightened 
one."

421
00:37:20,340 --> 00:37:23,761
Is about to become a self-centered.

422
00:37:25,985 --> 00:37:31,413
It is becoming a self-centered, it is 
not just to point...

423
00:37:33,538 --> 00:37:36,889
he is thinking that he can get the 
very Buddha.

424
00:37:47,535 --> 00:37:50,129
Trungpa founded the Institute Naropa, 
the first

425
00:37:50,155 --> 00:37:52,860
buddhist university in the western 
hemisphere.

426
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:03,536
The Institute Naropa in the summer of 
' 74 was a kind of distillation.

427
00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:08,667
It was like what happened at 
Woodstock, suddenly there was

428
00:38:08,693 --> 00:38:12,361
a big movement across the country and
met there.

429
00:38:21,085 --> 00:38:25,178
We didn't have a building, desks,

430
00:38:25,204 --> 00:38:29,378
phones, or stationery, but an idea.

431
00:38:29,404 --> 00:38:34,358
We invite religious figures, indian 
masters

432
00:38:34,384 --> 00:38:39,013
american, zen masters, hindu masters

433
00:38:40,135 --> 00:38:45,626
superstars like Ram Dass who came 
with a retinue of

434
00:38:45,652 --> 00:38:50,764
"ladies love" as we call them, 
dressed in white.

435
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:22,035
There were people there that I was 
not in the way of religion

436
00:39:23,062 --> 00:39:24,461
as Gregory Bateson said.

437
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:31,361
We come to Naropa trying to figure 
out what it is.

438
00:39:33,737 --> 00:39:36,795
We invite you to many poets such as 
Allen Ginsberg

439
00:39:36,821 --> 00:39:39,612
that was a school of poetry in itself.

440
00:39:41,262 --> 00:39:42,390
Don Allen!

441
00:39:42,392 --> 00:39:46,564
Do you see potential to Jazz,

442
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:50,570
Blues and Rock 'n' Roll?

443
00:39:50,614 --> 00:39:54,885
Maybe the Jazz and the Blues have 
more of a chance

444
00:39:54,911 --> 00:39:59,096
of prosperity but the Rock 'n' Roll 
has less.

445
00:39:59,539 --> 00:40:00,939
Why do you believe?

446
00:40:01,489 --> 00:40:05,640
It is a matter of consent perceptions

447
00:40:05,666 --> 00:40:09,546
sense of the individual. It is very 
Coca-Cola.

448
00:40:13,707 --> 00:40:18,814
Have you experienced majesty, calm 
and peace in

449
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,734
any song of rock and roll you've 
heard?

450
00:40:24,314 --> 00:40:28,218
Unfortunately it does not. So try 
because it is very difficult, right?

451
00:40:31,154 --> 00:40:34,417
In a moment, I thought that there was 
something happening by

452
00:40:34,443 --> 00:40:37,569
high, but it was not what I was doing.

453
00:40:41,914 --> 00:40:45,244
He loved the poets, the artists, the 
misfits.

454
00:40:46,182 --> 00:40:51,176
It seemed that I never wanted to 
control the energy, when he founded

455
00:40:51,202 --> 00:40:55,695
Naropa, but he said that he wanted to 
fly sparks.

456
00:40:56,189 --> 00:40:59,214
What we did was to bring together the 
east and the

457
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:02,546
the west, was the creation of a new 
hybrid

458
00:41:03,664 --> 00:41:06,701
He said that normally you want to 
create

459
00:41:06,727 --> 00:41:09,418
a kind of diplomatic relation but

460
00:41:09,739 --> 00:41:13,954
what he wanted was to maintain the 
integrity of each

461
00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:18,194
tradition and letting it crash to 
flying sparks

462
00:41:38,564 --> 00:41:42,389
The water is so precious, so much.

463
00:41:46,461 --> 00:41:50,033
It is like love.

464
00:41:50,339 --> 00:41:57,274
When it comes to Naropa established a 
program and

465
00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:03,691
they put me on Monday, Wednesday and 
Friday, I think

466
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:09,441
and Trungpa had Tuesday, Thursday and 
Saturday

467
00:42:10,814 --> 00:42:15,868
The two were going after the truth, 
and his way of

468
00:42:15,894 --> 00:42:20,717
it was a buddhist and mine was a 
hindu.

469
00:42:26,389 --> 00:42:31,777
People liked to receive the two 
points of view. I

470
00:42:31,803 --> 00:42:37,189
I was fascinated with this that 
looked like a game of tennis.

471
00:42:41,459 --> 00:42:44,589
Trungpa was saying this, the other 
said that...

472
00:42:44,834 --> 00:42:50,571
If we are going to discuss
spirituality in this class,

473
00:42:50,597 --> 00:42:57,657
I would get nerves and you also 
should give,

474
00:42:57,659 --> 00:43:03,243
we're not building guile mutual 
between us.

475
00:43:04,146 --> 00:43:10,136
We have coined this term called 
spiritual materialism.

476
00:43:10,714 --> 00:43:15,329
The spiritual materialism, which is 
dedicated to

477
00:43:15,355 --> 00:43:20,051
try to find the "I" using mantras,

478
00:43:20,077 --> 00:43:24,692
songs, meditation of all types

479
00:43:24,718 --> 00:43:29,117
to become a better person and more 
powerful.

480
00:43:31,064 --> 00:43:35,582
Never gave a talk in the first 8 
years without reminding

481
00:43:35,608 --> 00:43:40,543
people how silly it was to cling to 
the spirituality to be salvaged.

482
00:43:40,914 --> 00:43:47,191
It was cruel, ruthlessly taking apart 
what you

483
00:43:47,217 --> 00:43:53,493
use to hang a version built for the 
"I".

484
00:43:53,939 --> 00:43:58,144
Burlémonos of the "I"-,

485
00:43:58,681 --> 00:44:03,089
but let's build our spirit

486
00:44:07,714 --> 00:44:14,489
the spirit in this case has a 
curiosity that something

487
00:44:14,491 --> 00:44:18,406
might have happened, the possibility 
that something has passed

488
00:44:19,514 --> 00:44:24,254
but the approach of the "I" is "what 
it's going to be good for me

489
00:44:24,705 --> 00:44:30,512
should I do it or not, you are going 
to have an economic compensation?"

490
00:44:30,514 --> 00:44:36,340
Trungpa was the head and I the heart.

491
00:44:38,289 --> 00:44:40,740
Things like the soul, God,

492
00:44:41,789 --> 00:44:43,789
Rama and Krishna and all that.

493
00:44:44,889 --> 00:44:48,440
That seems crammed in comparison to 
the.

494
00:44:51,089 --> 00:44:55,307
It is absolutely important to make 
the practice

495
00:44:55,333 --> 00:44:58,689
the meditation the source of his 
strength

496
00:44:59,889 --> 00:45:03,064
it is also your basic intelligence,

497
00:45:04,539 --> 00:45:06,264
think about that.

498
00:45:06,714 --> 00:45:11,090
Can also sit back and do nothing

499
00:45:11,116 --> 00:45:15,491
10 or 20 minutes, just sitting doing 
nothing.

500
00:45:16,714 --> 00:45:19,166
Can think of the Institute Naropa 
while they are sitting.

501
00:45:22,189 --> 00:45:29,424
Should not be ashamed of telling your 
family and friends who have

502
00:45:29,450 --> 00:45:36,491
learned a very important message: 
That you can survive by doing nothing.

503
00:45:44,589 --> 00:45:47,972
Rinpoche had a great command of the 
English language.

504
00:45:47,998 --> 00:45:51,066
He said: "English is a language 
blessed".

505
00:45:52,564 --> 00:45:56,464
He spoke as farmer, as trader, as the 
people

506
00:45:56,490 --> 00:46:00,505
of Oxford but it was not just an 
imitation but

507
00:46:00,531 --> 00:46:04,394
his mind crept in to the american 
mentality

508
00:46:04,420 --> 00:46:08,141
and I knew that I had to do it 
through language.

509
00:46:13,114 --> 00:46:17,453
You used the word inaccessible 
referring to the

510
00:46:17,479 --> 00:46:21,439
teachings of the Vajrayana, what are 
you suggesting?

511
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:26,089
Well, it is very rare

512
00:46:30,289 --> 00:46:32,639
and therefore you probably will not 
understand.

513
00:46:33,091 --> 00:46:37,516
It is as if ordenaras steak tartar

514
00:46:41,339 --> 00:46:45,375
very few people ask for such a dish,

515
00:46:45,401 --> 00:46:48,187
usually ask for hamburger

516
00:46:48,213 --> 00:46:49,941
or hot dog.

517
00:46:51,739 --> 00:46:55,826
The steak tartar is very rare (or 
lightly cooked).

518
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,880
A crucial moment was when the great 
sixteenth Karmapa, who was the

519
00:47:04,906 --> 00:47:09,416
head of the lineage of Chogyam 
Trungpa was going to come to the 
united States.

520
00:47:10,264 --> 00:47:15,552
He tells this great news to the 
students and their response is:

521
00:47:15,554 --> 00:47:20,154
"Great!, but seriously, do we have to 
aspire for him?"

522
00:47:26,139 --> 00:47:29,439
We need someone to help light the 
candles. Immediately.

523
00:47:32,464 --> 00:47:36,388
He worked for hours tirelessly
getting ready for this visit.

524
00:47:36,414 --> 00:47:39,949
Made the people get decent clothes, 
cut

525
00:47:39,975 --> 00:47:43,867
hair, put a suit and tie, most were 
in the Army

526
00:47:43,893 --> 00:47:47,364
of Salvation to get them there 
because no one had money.

527
00:47:50,139 --> 00:47:51,733
This infuriated the people.

528
00:47:51,759 --> 00:47:54,691
The sexual part is not conmocionaba 
to the people then,

529
00:47:55,064 --> 00:47:59,041
neither of the drinks, but what about 
wearing a suit? Are you crazy?

530
00:47:59,439 --> 00:48:02,891
Many of the students were at that 
time in protest.

531
00:48:07,914 --> 00:48:13,341
All forms or rituals are disciplines, 
ways of changing the mind.

532
00:48:15,039 --> 00:48:17,764
First of all to create a kind of 
alert,

533
00:48:17,790 --> 00:48:20,061
to be able to appreciate what was 
going on.

534
00:48:20,087 --> 00:48:22,809
And second, to connect with the 
activity

535
00:48:22,835 --> 00:48:25,193
particular that he was developing.

536
00:48:26,339 --> 00:48:30,918
Know a certain majesty internal to 
know the majesty outside of one's 
self.

537
00:48:36,214 --> 00:48:40,797
What we have recommended is that we 
cortemos long hair,

538
00:48:40,799 --> 00:48:44,046
we put on ties and go back to the 
conventional

539
00:48:44,048 --> 00:48:47,429
of the institutions of the u.s. and 
try to

540
00:48:47,455 --> 00:48:51,043
influence healthy from inside there.

541
00:48:52,414 --> 00:48:54,014
Exact.

542
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:10,239
We always have problems amansándonos,

543
00:49:12,789 --> 00:49:14,914
that's why we have to resort to 
religion.

544
00:49:18,214 --> 00:49:21,682
Amansarse, meaning...

545
00:49:21,684 --> 00:49:25,357
simply...

546
00:49:25,359 --> 00:49:27,359
be decent.

547
00:49:30,564 --> 00:49:33,764
Without ups and downs.

548
00:49:33,864 --> 00:49:37,207
A sense of balance...

549
00:49:37,209 --> 00:49:39,759
A sense of balance... a natural state 
of existence.

550
00:49:41,159 --> 00:49:44,478
This type of training is in need of a 
teacher

551
00:49:44,504 --> 00:49:47,484
it was difficult to be close many 
times.

552
00:49:50,566 --> 00:49:54,060
I once asked because there were no 
more students

553
00:49:54,086 --> 00:49:57,109
come in to see him, or call him by 
phone.

554
00:49:58,366 --> 00:50:03,484
And he said to me, it seems to me 
that it is because there is fear

555
00:50:03,510 --> 00:50:08,734
students in the desenmascararse, 
exposed.

556
00:50:13,261 --> 00:50:17,403
This was a very important principle 
for him, that the people

557
00:50:17,429 --> 00:50:21,359
you had the courage to work with 
their own deceptions.

558
00:50:23,536 --> 00:50:28,386
Whence comes the purpose and 
motivation in the

559
00:50:28,412 --> 00:50:33,261
enlightened mind is free of desires 
and struggles?

560
00:50:33,513 --> 00:50:36,811
Where is your determination?

561
00:50:37,711 --> 00:50:42,220
Well, the determinations come from 
having a sense

562
00:50:42,246 --> 00:50:46,395
of self-confidence, a sense of 
rectitude,

563
00:50:46,421 --> 00:50:50,471
a sense of loyalty, a sense of 
appreciation for

564
00:50:50,497 --> 00:50:54,711
his own family, and his close world 
around.

565
00:50:56,161 --> 00:51:02,285
There is a cloud in the sky and the 
sky is blue,

566
00:51:02,311 --> 00:51:08,161
and the sun comes out beautifully in 
the east and...

567
00:51:10,481 --> 00:51:16,611
flakes of snow fall and have a beauty 
when they fall to the ground.

568
00:51:17,286 --> 00:51:18,536
And everything is perfect...

569
00:51:21,997 --> 00:51:23,436
If, more or less...

570
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:34,436
Always he was showing us the style of 
the "Crazy wisdom"

571
00:51:34,933 --> 00:51:37,740
and the teaching was that there was 
no certainty, and

572
00:51:37,766 --> 00:51:40,511
you could have a sense of humor about 
it.

573
00:51:46,408 --> 00:51:49,011
Independence day.

574
00:51:54,408 --> 00:51:56,986
We don't want to be completely sane.

575
00:51:58,683 --> 00:52:01,135
And that seems to be the problem 
usually

576
00:52:01,161 --> 00:52:03,611
that we cannot handle too much sanity

577
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,711
and we like to have a little slice of 
neurosis in some part.

578
00:52:08,919 --> 00:52:13,509
Even in our pockets. A small puff of 
smoke here and there,

579
00:52:13,535 --> 00:52:18,186
if there are too much sanity to be 
able to say: "oh, That was intense!"

580
00:52:23,908 --> 00:52:27,746
It is normal that such a teacher 
confuses the

581
00:52:27,772 --> 00:52:32,182
expectations of the people close to 
him. And often

582
00:52:32,208 --> 00:52:36,514
behaved in the opposite way to what 
people

583
00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:40,761
considers appropriate to a person so 
illustrious.

584
00:52:47,703 --> 00:52:51,592
This is a tradition tártrica of 
Tibet, the of enjoy

585
00:52:51,618 --> 00:52:55,036
of your senses is in itself to 
express wisdom.

586
00:52:55,525 --> 00:52:59,585
Benjamin Franklin said, wine is the 
test of

587
00:52:59,611 --> 00:53:03,352
that God loves us and wants us to be 
happy.

588
00:53:05,785 --> 00:53:07,179
It is not a new idea.

589
00:53:09,150 --> 00:53:10,479
But if I was drinking too much...

590
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,309
Thomas Jefferson also.

591
00:53:15,335 --> 00:53:18,204
Be ruined by buying good wine of 
France to drink it.

592
00:53:24,825 --> 00:53:28,427
It was safe to say that their level 
of awareness of the

593
00:53:28,453 --> 00:53:31,679
environment was not affected by 
alcohol.

594
00:53:33,175 --> 00:53:36,315
At the very beginning I was giving a 
talk

595
00:53:36,341 --> 00:53:39,250
with a guru, west of the new era

596
00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:42,969
and the presence of Rinpoche on the 
stage

597
00:53:42,995 --> 00:53:45,575
was a complete drunk,

598
00:53:45,625 --> 00:53:48,174
and not really gave a talk but

599
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,723
he spent nearly falling of the 
chair...

600
00:53:50,725 --> 00:53:56,650
At the end of the talk they took it 
loaded to the elevator

601
00:53:56,745 --> 00:53:59,651
and soon rose and said: "How was 
that?"

602
00:54:03,805 --> 00:54:07,680
I was not drunk, was not lost,

603
00:54:07,706 --> 00:54:11,501
but so chose to interact with this 
charlatan.

604
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:18,714
A lot of people I try to get Rinpoche 
to stop drinking,

605
00:54:18,740 --> 00:54:24,443
he sent petitions and letters signed 
by many people.

606
00:54:24,445 --> 00:54:29,488
I remember in one of his talks served 
the sake diluted

607
00:54:29,514 --> 00:54:34,370
on water and raised the eyebrow and 
said: "this is watered down".

608
00:54:36,380 --> 00:54:41,220
It is elemental madness, in other 
words, fearlessness.

609
00:54:42,344 --> 00:54:45,133
Do not give up anything,

610
00:54:45,430 --> 00:54:47,545
it seemed to be the fundamental issue.

611
00:54:49,505 --> 00:54:53,320
Willing to work with the body is there

612
00:54:56,050 --> 00:54:59,645
on the basis of the quality of 
monitors paramount.

613
00:55:00,625 --> 00:55:03,220
That seems to be the definition of 
the "Crazy wisdom".

614
00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:09,820
Trungpa rinpoche supported the issue 
of the sexuality and the alcohol.

615
00:55:10,625 --> 00:55:14,495
Basically, I defended them, because I 
like to practice buddhism

616
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,515
and I know that the "crazy wisdom" is 
something real,

617
00:55:17,575 --> 00:55:21,375
but I had to recognize certain 
defects, in my opinion,

618
00:55:21,550 --> 00:55:24,675
for example: I Think he died at the 
age of 47

619
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:30,699
and they could still be doing a 
useful work, and fantastic if it had 
not been a

620
00:55:30,725 --> 00:55:35,700
an alcoholic, definitely, whatever 
the diagnosis, I was drinking too 
much.

621
00:55:37,325 --> 00:55:40,283
People ask me: How can you follow 
such a teacher as this?

622
00:55:40,309 --> 00:55:42,575
Or how can you do that an enlightened 
person?

623
00:55:43,650 --> 00:55:45,300
I don't know.

624
00:55:46,775 --> 00:55:50,680
I cannot accept a defense as that was 
an activity

625
00:55:50,706 --> 00:55:54,400
sacred or something like that, or 
come up with a reason to approve it.

626
00:55:55,300 --> 00:55:59,050
I can't think of a reason to fail.

627
00:55:59,825 --> 00:56:06,200
I'm on that: I don't know, I don't 
know.

628
00:56:07,575 --> 00:56:10,239
But I can't answer the questions

629
00:56:10,265 --> 00:56:12,650
because the challenged order to 
answer them.

630
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:23,900
When Suzuki Roshi died

631
00:56:25,350 --> 00:56:29,125
Chogyam Trungpa gave a talk at the 
Zen Center

632
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:34,204
and while giving the talk said that 
Suzuki

633
00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:38,225
Roshi was a great teacher and a great 
friend

634
00:56:40,425 --> 00:56:42,875
and in that moment she began to cry

635
00:56:49,745 --> 00:56:54,730
probably could see that we were 
trying to

636
00:56:54,756 --> 00:57:00,452
hold back and gave us permission to 
all the crying.

637
00:57:03,220 --> 00:57:05,652
That was a great teaching.

638
00:57:16,895 --> 00:57:21,334
Most of the cultures in their 
beginning they have some kind of

639
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,727
idea of trying to pull out the
noblest part of the human spirit.

640
00:57:29,095 --> 00:57:32,027
Rinpoche was looking for examples 
that work in the west

641
00:57:32,695 --> 00:57:35,139
I didn't just impose the examples

642
00:57:35,165 --> 00:57:37,552
eastern to his western students

643
00:57:38,645 --> 00:57:43,852
in the United States, the president 
lives and works in your home

644
00:57:44,445 --> 00:57:48,802
and in Europe, the place where the 
monarch lived was also the seat of 
the government

645
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:51,898
that was one part, I think that he 
realized that

646
00:57:51,924 --> 00:57:54,327
that was a very good example that it 
already existed.

647
00:57:59,645 --> 00:58:02,552
The Court was an environment very 
fertile

648
00:58:03,045 --> 00:58:09,129
that was his home, and a kind of
community center at the same time.

649
00:58:10,145 --> 00:58:14,008
In Boulder, when I was still living, 
my job

650
00:58:14,034 --> 00:58:17,868
main and my title was "master of the 
house"

651
00:58:17,870 --> 00:58:19,297
of the Court of Kalapa.

652
00:58:20,670 --> 00:58:25,008
A typical night in the Court can be 
with music

653
00:58:25,034 --> 00:58:29,772
Mozart, Handel, she loved the water 
Music of Handel.

654
00:58:32,495 --> 00:58:39,097
A formality british stiff so ironic.

655
00:58:40,770 --> 00:58:44,047
We called each other Mr. Paysinger or 
Mrs. Fordham.

656
00:58:47,165 --> 00:58:52,572
This is not just to say something 
good but that anything and everything 
can be dear

657
00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:57,797
when we find ourselves with a 
consciousness of discovering any kind
of power

658
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,472
for this there is nothing excluded 
from the practice

659
00:59:03,540 --> 00:59:07,147
that's why I proposed a practice for 
anything

660
00:59:08,515 --> 00:59:11,701
absolutely anything, take a cup of

661
00:59:11,727 --> 00:59:14,849
tea, combing hair, putting the 
interior in a drawer...

662
00:59:19,765 --> 00:59:23,349
Once I could see him setting the table

663
00:59:24,015 --> 00:59:29,949
it took him 3 hours, because it was 
like a work of art to put on the 
table.

664
00:59:38,815 --> 00:59:43,294
The way they spoke the american

665
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,199
he looked very scruffy.

666
00:59:46,590 --> 00:59:50,851
And it seemed to him that if not 
trying to improve the way you talk

667
00:59:50,877 --> 00:59:55,274
there was a way in which the body and
the mind were not united

668
00:59:55,435 --> 00:59:59,565
then the speech is one of the things 
that can unite them, for

669
00:59:59,591 --> 01:00:03,524
to have everything in order, 
synchronizing your body, speech and 
mind.

670
01:00:04,985 --> 01:00:07,153
Took that further and started not 
only to

671
01:00:07,179 --> 01:00:09,574
to teach people how to speak English

672
01:00:09,660 --> 01:00:12,574
but he decided to teach them the 
English of the queen of England

673
01:00:13,660 --> 01:00:21,374
The how to speak the English 
language, and how not to talk to us.

674
01:00:24,460 --> 01:00:27,699
I'll give you an example of the 
exercise of elocution.

675
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:35,949
"Spider is black" "the Sky is blue."

676
01:00:36,764 --> 01:00:40,899
"How tantalizing, this world."

677
01:00:41,539 --> 01:00:47,499
"Kathy''s hair is black" "Her 
complexion is white."

678
01:00:48,664 --> 01:00:53,274
"Her attention is like a bow string."

679
01:00:54,414 --> 01:00:59,874
"More than monuments" "More than 
tattered."

680
01:01:00,544 --> 01:01:07,574
"More than dying", "The liberty bell 
is more than antique."

681
01:01:09,489 --> 01:01:12,657
In the long run I was trying to 
demonstrate

682
01:01:12,683 --> 01:01:15,849
as the sound had an element sacred

683
01:01:16,766 --> 01:01:20,135
so even though we apparently torture 
people

684
01:01:20,161 --> 01:01:23,274
making them repeat these words again 
and again.

685
01:01:24,466 --> 01:01:28,199
I think it was much more about the 
appreciation.

686
01:01:31,166 --> 01:01:33,699
Then it became a practice display

687
01:01:35,566 --> 01:01:40,106
we arrived, we wore the uniform and
walking towards a display

688
01:01:40,132 --> 01:01:44,174
we imagined as the servants 
enlightened of the enlightened master

689
01:01:44,493 --> 01:01:48,035
and somehow all of it was true.

690
01:01:48,061 --> 01:01:51,324
In a certain way was reality, the 
other was a representation.

691
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:09,174
He said that to be able to make an 
enlightened society had to change the 
culture

692
01:02:09,670 --> 01:02:12,749
and to change the culture had to 
change the art

693
01:02:13,270 --> 01:02:15,760
and to change the art had to change 
the

694
01:02:15,786 --> 01:02:18,274
principles on which was based the art.

695
01:02:19,045 --> 01:02:22,099
And those principles, he said, should 
be the of Art Dharma.

696
01:02:27,795 --> 01:02:30,349
The basic notion of art is

697
01:02:31,570 --> 01:02:38,019
how to relate to oneself and how to 
relate to

698
01:02:38,045 --> 01:02:43,955
with his own phenomenal world with 
grace.

699
01:02:45,095 --> 01:02:50,389
In the Art Dharma, instead of looking 
at a painting

700
01:02:50,415 --> 01:02:55,820
of a river, it is more like being in 
the water of the river.

701
01:02:58,795 --> 01:03:01,760
When there is a sufficient sense of 
space, then we can

702
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:04,954
relax more, and we started to realize 
that when there is...

703
01:03:06,145 --> 01:03:10,486
the sick world, that any artistic 
endeavor is considered sacred.

704
01:03:15,770 --> 01:03:21,645
When that happens, there is no more 
struggle.

705
01:03:27,745 --> 01:03:32,920
The idea of art Dharma is to receive
images, it is not a gloating 
egotistical.

706
01:03:33,420 --> 01:03:37,120
The only thing you did was see it and 
bring it to the surface.

707
01:03:37,146 --> 01:03:38,995
The caught the fish, not created it.

708
01:03:49,043 --> 01:03:53,820
Things are sacred, not in the sense 
of religious meaning

709
01:03:55,247 --> 01:04:00,829
but sacred in the sense that there is 
a dignity

710
01:04:00,855 --> 01:04:05,670
innate in the way we see our world.

711
01:04:26,498 --> 01:04:30,248
I was sitting in the altar of a 
church smoking a cigarette

712
01:04:31,698 --> 01:04:35,690
and someone asked him to talk about 
aggression in the United

713
01:04:35,716 --> 01:04:39,898
States, and said: "I want to talk 
about the aggression in this room."

714
01:04:54,650 --> 01:04:57,164
This was the Dorje Kasung, it was 
called as well

715
01:04:57,190 --> 01:04:59,949
because it means "protect the sacred 
space".

716
01:05:02,975 --> 01:05:08,724
Chogyam Trungpa believed that every 
aspect of the society should be 
explored

717
01:05:08,750 --> 01:05:13,124
each one of them, so did theatre 
groups, trade

718
01:05:13,875 --> 01:05:18,899
educational institutions and also I 
think the buddhist version of the 
army.

719
01:05:20,650 --> 01:05:24,575
All of them mortificaba the idea, but 
he always said

720
01:05:25,277 --> 01:05:28,491
that until we get to the heart of the 
aggressiveness

721
01:05:28,517 --> 01:05:31,463
in the society and transform that 
same energy

722
01:05:31,489 --> 01:05:34,550
to be the forces of peace, we can't
change

723
01:05:34,576 --> 01:05:37,275
of truth the way things work.

724
01:05:38,802 --> 01:05:42,068
I was involved in organizations and 
marches to protest

725
01:05:42,094 --> 01:05:44,675
by the presence of the united States 
in Vietnam.

726
01:05:45,377 --> 01:05:49,600
That comes to feel was that we were 
doing that

727
01:05:51,152 --> 01:05:56,750
we didn't have more insight of the 
fundamental problem of the 
aggressiveness

728
01:05:57,452 --> 01:06:01,150
the army and the government that we 
protested.

729
01:06:02,227 --> 01:06:08,300
The principle of Shambhala is what is 
known as "the way of The warrior"

730
01:06:09,952 --> 01:06:16,825
here does not mean the warrior as the 
creator of war

731
01:06:17,727 --> 01:06:23,700
but the warrior in the sense of
courage, to be brave.

732
01:06:31,402 --> 01:06:35,007
We did military training for hours, 
and once in a

733
01:06:35,033 --> 01:06:38,850
when we had visitors, and one of them 
asked.

734
01:06:39,752 --> 01:06:42,125
What is making this thing military?

735
01:06:42,477 --> 01:06:47,290
His response was that someday people 
would see

736
01:06:47,316 --> 01:06:51,500
the Dorje Kasung marching down a 
street

737
01:06:51,752 --> 01:06:55,600
and they make you feel like you want 
to smile

738
01:06:55,877 --> 01:07:00,457
and at that time they will have 
changed something in the center

739
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:04,975
of modern society, the problem as I 
was.

740
01:07:10,004 --> 01:07:14,025
It took us ten years to realise that 
he was teaching buddhism traditional

741
01:07:14,304 --> 01:07:18,700
we didn't know because if you read 
buddhism traditional sit like: What?

742
01:07:18,879 --> 01:07:22,295
But his amazing skill with the 
language to

743
01:07:22,321 --> 01:07:25,875
translate that to our to be able to 
touch your heart

744
01:07:26,354 --> 01:07:30,877
and also was able to give curiosity 
to your mind

745
01:07:30,879 --> 01:07:34,359
so you felt that your process was in 
truth

746
01:07:34,385 --> 01:07:37,554
what is described traditionally as

747
01:07:37,979 --> 01:07:41,662
"the way it's going under yours and 
your going to make

748
01:07:41,688 --> 01:07:45,531
continuously it is that you're going 
to encounter."

749
01:07:51,454 --> 01:07:55,396
The first time I met Trungpa, John 
said:

750
01:07:55,422 --> 01:07:59,281
"Rinpoche, I want to introduce you to
my wife Agnes."

751
01:08:00,599 --> 01:08:07,781
And Rinpoche did so, and grabbed me 
by the hand and greeted me,

752
01:08:08,724 --> 01:08:14,656
and then he said to John: "Your wife 
seems to me very attractive"

753
01:08:15,999 --> 01:08:21,589
and I jumped behind John,

754
01:08:21,615 --> 01:08:26,059
looking to Rinpoche on his shoulder,

755
01:08:26,061 --> 01:08:33,193
thinking: "what is he talking about? 
who is this guy?"

756
01:08:34,499 --> 01:08:39,108
Many of his students were his lovers 
and was known.

757
01:08:39,999 --> 01:08:44,046
My impression of that community was 
that this was

758
01:08:44,072 --> 01:08:48,205
part of what was happening, and was 
discovered

759
01:08:48,919 --> 01:08:53,081
I remember watching Rinpoche with his 
entourage

760
01:08:53,107 --> 01:08:56,455
and we could clearly see who was who 
in the entourage.

761
01:08:57,271 --> 01:08:59,496
Of course in the zen-world the things 
are

762
01:08:59,836 --> 01:09:05,907
the more decks, the thing that became 
a problem.

763
01:09:07,196 --> 01:09:10,707
<-O -> - Can you push it a little 
more, sweetheart? <-O->- If it is ok.

764
01:09:12,173 --> 01:09:14,273
How do you say "sweetheart" in 
japanese?

765
01:09:15,145 --> 01:09:17,332
<-O->- Not what is. <-O -> - do you 
Not know?

766
01:09:19,473 --> 01:09:25,282
Did not hide anything. Or their drink 
or their sexuality.

767
01:09:26,373 --> 01:09:30,060
There are so many western teachers 
and asian in the west

768
01:09:30,086 --> 01:09:33,832
have fallen in disgrace for what they 
call "bad sexual conduct"

769
01:09:34,323 --> 01:09:38,239
but if you look closely, that was not 
what made them fall,

770
01:09:38,265 --> 01:09:41,782
was that the students were mocked and 
deceived.

771
01:09:42,098 --> 01:09:46,645
The first time you lay with another, 
after I married him,

772
01:09:46,671 --> 01:09:51,396
it was crazy, I sat on the floor of 
the bathroom crying all night

773
01:09:51,398 --> 01:09:55,559
and the next day I went and I told 
him I was destroyed, I could not 
believe that we

774
01:09:55,585 --> 01:09:57,491
would have married and would now

775
01:09:57,517 --> 01:09:59,923
to get divorced because he was 
sleeping with other

776
01:10:00,273 --> 01:10:05,013
and he said to me: "it is Not that do 
not love you, our relationship

777
01:10:05,039 --> 01:10:08,973
it is much stronger than the sexual 
fidelity".

778
01:10:10,048 --> 01:10:13,924
"I can never be a husband 
traditional, but you can

779
01:10:13,950 --> 01:10:18,048
trust completely in our relationship 
and mutual love"

780
01:10:18,223 --> 01:10:19,948
"but it's not going to be 
conventional."

781
01:10:20,348 --> 01:10:25,319
What was the sexual activity was

782
01:10:25,345 --> 01:10:29,873
free the desire in place of to create 
more.

783
01:10:32,048 --> 01:10:38,098
Then it takes that pulse of desire 
that is so great

784
01:10:38,923 --> 01:10:44,669
and applies a kind of wakefulness, 
where in reality

785
01:10:44,695 --> 01:10:50,223
these there until the end, an idea is 
very powerful.

786
01:10:52,223 --> 01:10:59,823
Sometimes I would sit with him for up
to 4 hours in almost complete silence

787
01:11:01,048 --> 01:11:03,673
at times I felt very alone.

788
01:11:08,923 --> 01:11:12,446
My husband Jonathan and I were 
already married

789
01:11:12,472 --> 01:11:16,073
at that time, so it was not easy for 
him,

790
01:11:17,348 --> 01:11:21,548
has always said, not always very 
enlightened:

791
01:11:23,323 --> 01:11:28,973
I'm in number two after the teacher 
and it is true.

792
01:11:29,948 --> 01:11:36,522
Was jealous. It was more like: Ah! 
then your if you can

793
01:11:36,548 --> 01:11:42,198
to have a special relationship with 
him and I can't.

794
01:11:43,275 --> 01:11:49,873
The truth to call it a relationship 
would be difficult, because I did not 
have this strength.

795
01:11:50,375 --> 01:11:54,178
We're not talking about Trunpa
Rinpoche as a person,

796
01:11:54,180 --> 01:11:59,233
but as the manifestation of that 
mind, which took advantage of

797
01:11:59,259 --> 01:12:04,223
the reality as it is and was able to 
wake people up

798
01:12:04,470 --> 01:12:07,198
but only because you shared that mind.

799
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:13,798
In the west it is difficult to 
understand the devotion in the 
tibetan tradition

800
01:12:14,545 --> 01:12:18,596
from the outside it seems as if all 
these little people

801
01:12:18,622 --> 01:12:21,798
follow the steps of this great person

802
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:27,548
but in fact the tradition itself is 
very clear

803
01:12:28,170 --> 01:12:31,673
the teacher has nothing more than the 
student.

804
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:36,898
That the wisdom already exists, we
are all born with it.

805
01:12:37,420 --> 01:12:40,748
And we die with it, we cannot get rid 
of it, or to get more

806
01:12:42,845 --> 01:12:45,423
the teacher shows you this

807
01:12:46,770 --> 01:12:50,648
and the student gradually comes to 
understand, and the minds are joined.

808
01:12:54,745 --> 01:12:57,963
After being married for 17 years, I 
still sometimes

809
01:12:57,989 --> 01:13:00,848
I was lying next to the looking at 
this and thought:

810
01:13:01,020 --> 01:13:05,951
"I have No idea who you are." It was 
completely impossible to know.

811
01:13:05,977 --> 01:13:08,823
You could never predict their 
reaction to something.

812
01:13:10,170 --> 01:13:15,274
Do you love? Talk of love is almost 
an insult to our relationship because

813
01:13:15,300 --> 01:13:20,098
he was treating me as the 
reincarnation of the Lama that I was 
recognized.

814
01:13:21,190 --> 01:13:26,515
Then in terms of love, we never talk 
about

815
01:13:26,541 --> 01:13:32,198
something like that, I was being 
treated like a king from another 
country.

816
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,550
He always knew that his intentions 
were good and I knew that it would be 
nice

817
01:13:37,635 --> 01:13:41,775
but in the background I'm not sure 
that is what motivated him.

818
01:13:56,519 --> 01:13:58,655
When I rode a horse.

819
01:13:58,657 --> 01:14:01,085
When I rode a horse Poem of Chogyam 
Trungpa.

820
01:14:01,785 --> 01:14:05,150
When I rode a horse, subject to my 
chair.

821
01:14:05,435 --> 01:14:09,275
When you play with snakes, the button
in my wrists.

822
01:14:10,185 --> 01:14:15,027
When I play with maidens dangerous, 
I'll leave you to talk about first.

823
01:14:29,955 --> 01:14:33,933
The "Crazy wisdom" as I understand it

824
01:14:33,959 --> 01:14:38,152
means not firmly planted your foot

825
01:14:39,052 --> 01:14:42,802
in the material world or the 
spiritual.

826
01:14:43,602 --> 01:14:49,790
When we have the point of view of the 
spiritual world, we are bound by

827
01:14:49,816 --> 01:14:55,752
this and when is the materialist, we 
are bound by their point of view.

828
01:14:57,752 --> 01:15:04,527
But if you go beyond that, and give 
that extra hop

829
01:15:05,777 --> 01:15:11,402
then that is the leap to the "crazy 
wisdom".

830
01:15:12,452 --> 01:15:16,352
It is like taking a leap into the 
abyss

831
01:15:16,877 --> 01:15:22,952
but it is not the abyss of the 
nothing, but the abyss of reality.

832
01:15:26,677 --> 01:15:29,189
Would have been able to succeed 
without

833
01:15:29,215 --> 01:15:32,852
commit fully as he did.

834
01:15:34,052 --> 01:15:36,545
He was able to have a nice community 
and a good

835
01:15:36,571 --> 01:15:39,177
life, but never thought to their own 
safety.

836
01:15:43,202 --> 01:15:44,570
Bodhisattva:

837
01:15:44,572 --> 01:15:52,572
The person who makes the be helpful 
to the other the principle of their 
life.

838
01:16:08,252 --> 01:16:12,400
How much we have tried to relate to 
our own heart?

839
01:16:13,702 --> 01:16:18,152
And what, of the attempt to relate to 
him, has been

840
01:16:18,178 --> 01:16:22,325
rejected because you could discover 
something horrible in it?

841
01:16:26,652 --> 01:16:31,100
Taught Me so much. All that is on 
your heart.

842
01:16:31,878 --> 01:16:37,975
And taught me to be, genuine, and 
completely who he was.

843
01:16:38,528 --> 01:16:43,475
He was human, fully human, and not 
hid it.

844
01:16:44,178 --> 01:16:48,700
Not hiding his tears, nor his wounds.

845
01:16:53,398 --> 01:16:56,216
When we want to relate to our heart...

846
01:16:56,242 --> 01:16:58,900
What are you? Who are you? Where is 
your heart?

847
01:16:59,998 --> 01:17:04,632
If you tear through your ribcage with 
the hand

848
01:17:04,658 --> 01:17:09,075
and feel your heart, there is a 
delicacy.

849
01:17:11,073 --> 01:17:14,825
You feel sore and soft. It hurts.

850
01:17:16,648 --> 01:17:21,425
And you want to pour your heart to 
relate with others.

851
01:17:23,223 --> 01:17:27,475
That kind of delicacy brings a notion
of fearlessness.

852
01:17:27,973 --> 01:17:32,315
That fearlessness that shows you 
possibilities, that the

853
01:17:32,341 --> 01:17:36,850
world around you can tickle your 
heart open.

854
01:17:41,273 --> 01:17:45,900
It was his way of saying that it was 
a form of strength

855
01:17:46,773 --> 01:17:51,248
when you feel that delicacy in thee

856
01:17:51,723 --> 01:17:53,448
you become more strong.

857
01:17:53,773 --> 01:17:58,375
He lived his life as the biggest 
"bodhisattva"

858
01:17:59,648 --> 01:18:04,584
The bodhisattva promises to renounce 
anything that has to do

859
01:18:04,610 --> 01:18:09,400
himself and help others. And that was 
all he did.

860
01:18:09,973 --> 01:18:11,850
"Come on, I'm going to make you cry!

861
01:18:15,493 --> 01:18:17,350
That was all he did.

862
01:18:28,473 --> 01:18:31,762
I can't believe it! I went to the
hospital and had

863
01:18:31,788 --> 01:18:35,226
a question about the decoration of a 
suite

864
01:18:35,323 --> 01:18:38,226
on Tower Road, and Rinpoche was dying,

865
01:18:40,198 --> 01:18:43,424
and I went to the side of his bed and 
I thought:

866
01:18:43,450 --> 01:18:48,637
"Is that you can't hear me, but I can 
verbalize my idea and such

867
01:18:48,663 --> 01:18:53,676
time to catch some type of response 
on the issue."

868
01:18:54,848 --> 01:18:59,093
And it was as if there was a tv screen

869
01:18:59,119 --> 01:19:03,276
and just to see interference in 
black-and-white.

870
01:19:05,203 --> 01:19:07,926
Do you know? It's over. No more 
questions.

871
01:19:10,173 --> 01:19:13,371
A belt of ice fixed covered 
three-quarters of the port

872
01:19:13,397 --> 01:19:16,201
and spread about 8 nautical miles in
the sea

873
01:19:16,473 --> 01:19:18,630
The ice fixed is common at this time 
of

874
01:19:18,656 --> 01:19:20,601
year, but rarely get to Halifax.

875
01:19:21,650 --> 01:19:26,076
The whole sea was frozen

876
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,651
and so we felt because he was dying.

877
01:19:32,125 --> 01:19:34,326
He opened his eyes and almost joined.

878
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,001
They were all waiting for that 
moment...

879
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,999
All understood that he was telling us

880
01:19:44,025 --> 01:19:47,551
somehow that until here came.

881
01:19:48,300 --> 01:19:51,831
There is a moment in which you feel 
that you are going to be

882
01:19:51,857 --> 01:19:54,976
his last word, and it's going to be 
for you.

883
01:19:58,200 --> 01:19:59,626
All to the expectation.

884
01:20:16,950 --> 01:20:21,658
In a moment, we started singing the 
anthem of Shambhala,

885
01:20:21,684 --> 01:20:25,550
I don't know how it started maybe 
someone I plan to...

886
01:20:27,925 --> 01:20:30,623
It was like...

887
01:20:30,625 --> 01:20:33,225
It was like... our last offering to 
him.

888
01:20:42,825 --> 01:20:44,500
He opened his eyes and looked around

889
01:20:48,125 --> 01:20:52,858
and when the hymn had just breathed a 
few times.

890
01:20:52,860 --> 01:20:58,085
We were attentive to each breath, 
because we did not know if it would 
take another.

891
01:21:02,125 --> 01:21:07,075
Chogyam Trungpa died in Halifax, nova 
Scotia on 4 April 1987.

892
01:21:07,077 --> 01:21:11,267
Then I went outside and the ice had 
begun to move

893
01:21:11,293 --> 01:21:15,102
and the other day I had nothing, and 
it was a lot of ice.

894
01:21:16,002 --> 01:21:17,552
The sky became blue

895
01:22:12,379 --> 01:22:16,654
3,000 people gathered for the 
cremation of Chogyam Trungpa.

896
01:22:42,304 --> 01:22:44,536
His holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche 
reaches of the

897
01:22:44,562 --> 01:22:46,654
India to conduct the cremation 
ceremony.

898
01:22:48,629 --> 01:22:51,529
The princes of the Kagyu lineage come 
from Sikkim.

899
01:23:13,058 --> 01:23:16,060
I have known teachers who have tried 
to emulate him

900
01:23:16,633 --> 01:23:22,611
and for a few years is fine, but all 
the years all the time

901
01:23:22,933 --> 01:23:24,533
tell me that does not know as he did.

902
01:23:25,358 --> 01:23:27,544
Only you can think of

903
01:23:28,803 --> 01:23:35,143
or was it madness, or was it "crazy 
wisdom" was something incredible.

904
01:23:43,928 --> 01:23:48,556
Even in a film like this, if the
message transmitted is

905
01:23:48,582 --> 01:23:53,137
is that the reason out to be defined 
or formulated in any way

906
01:23:53,553 --> 01:23:56,962
that defy the whole purpose of his 
life,

907
01:23:58,928 --> 01:24:04,706
that was afford not to be formulated 
and fluids and

908
01:24:04,732 --> 01:24:10,162
let others open up to their innate 
goodness.

909
01:25:20,397 --> 01:25:21,419
Do you see it?

910
01:25:21,445 --> 01:25:25,505
What I see, but I am not convinced 
that it's something extraordinary.

911
01:25:25,507 --> 01:25:26,982
Is around the sun.

912
01:25:33,632 --> 01:25:35,232
The rainbow...

913
01:25:38,532 --> 01:25:39,632
Something in the clouds.

914
01:25:41,057 --> 01:25:42,382
Something in the sky.

915
01:26:01,432 --> 01:26:04,233
Tibetan buddhism remains in the west.

916
01:26:04,259 --> 01:26:07,119
The books of Trungpa are sold by the 
millions, and

917
01:26:07,145 --> 01:26:09,919
214 meditation Centers, Shambhala, led

918
01:26:09,945 --> 01:26:12,507
by his son Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche,

919
01:26:12,533 --> 01:26:15,332
continue the vision of an enlightened 
society.

920
01:26:16,576 --> 01:26:22,126
Can it be possible?

921
00:00:01,250 --> 00:00:10,500
