About this listen

ChgyamTrungpa'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 Chödrön, a close student of Trungpa and the best-selling author of When Things Fall Apart.

A Complete treasure of a Book!

This is probably the best book I've seen on meditation, the amount of wisdom that's packed into it is just amazing and Trungpa explains everything so well. It is especially helpful if your an intermediate or an advanced meditator. He'll have you saying 'damn that's exactly what I went through at that stage' and know you can equip yourself with knowledge of what the process will bring next and be prepared to watch that pesky mind of yours :)
