Below is more information about the book we are basing this series on:
Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
“Based on the highest view of the Vajrayana school, it defines basic principles not only of Buddhism but of spiritual practice altogether. Always contemporary and relevant, a profound influence on how Buddhism is understood today.”—Lion’s Roar
“The usefulness of this book lies in Trungpa’s uncanny ability to cut right to the heart of the matter and presents his understanding of Buddhism and the way of life it teaches in a manner that is applicable to his students’ living situation.”—Journal of the American Academy of Religion
About the Author
