He is the first introduction to buddhism tibetan styl crazy wisdom in the USA. yes, Shambhala is a total fiasco right now but this is just people learning to realize everything about incest and sexual abuses that are everywhere. It is their path for healing. Crazy wisdom is devastating. And Turngpa was not a saint. Trungpa however, is now reformed after a nasty woman life here and there forever. The next time he is a man, i saw him: delightful, kind, excellent manners, funny. I would have taught him right htere and then but he thought I was a fucked up woman. yet he absolutely never snobbed me. Bravo!
