Ram Dass talks about his relationship with the great Tibetan Lama, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Includes detailed moments with Trungpa and Ram Dass at different events and venues in the early 70’s where Trungpa was teaching- the methods he used with his students and the dismay of many who were offended by his unusual behavior and teachings that were enigmatic to say the least. Ram Dass delves into a substantial issue around teachers in the West that are unconventional and sometimes divisive yet can provide students with a path that allows for real growth.
I had just seen these recently, the talks where Ram Dass showed up at a CTR talk. Here are the videos: http://chronicleproject.com/CTRlibrary/question-of-reality.html
Very lively. Thanks I love these podcasts, Peace, Nancy
very timely, just watched the documentary about Trungpa Rinpoche on Netflix. Thanks!
Trungpa was often misunderstood by the narrow minded from any tradition. Thank you for honoring the connection between Ram Dass, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the depth of non-dual experience of our deepest heart nature.
Kind regards,

The audio quality was just fine. Hearing the babies babbling made me feel at home as if I were there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting these awesome talks! And thanks to the commenters for sharing more Trungpa resources and videos!
Hey! Thank you so very much for all of these podcasts. Hugely influential and meaningful for me. I’ve noticed that Episode 40: Trungpa Rinpoche Pt. 2 has been posted to iTunes, but this episode (39) has not. Any chance it might be in the future? Again, many thanks.
Hi Benj – It should be up now, thanks for noticing it was missing! Sorry about that 🙂 If you have any trouble finding it please email me at [email protected] and I’d be happy to send it to you. Namaste’.
