"Let us get back to the
kitchen-sink level." -
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
This two-disc set of remastered audio
presents two talks given by Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (Boston,
February 1971) on the five chakras and the four karmas, simple but profound
elements that the Vidyadhara offers as the secret hidden in the midst of
everyday life.
The first talk is an introduction to the
tantric principles of the chakra system and how it embodies the five awakened
aspects of body, speech, mind, quality, and action. In the second talk,
Rinpoche offers a unique teaching on the four karmas or enlightened activities
and how they can either conquer or be perverted by the four maras, our personal
demons and habitual patterns of ego-fixation.
The lightly-edited talks are also
available in a book, Secret Beyond Thought: The Five Chakras & Four
Karmas. Click here for book.
