About the Course
Starting in 1973 Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, newly arrived in the U.S. from Tibet by way of India and England, began accompanying his students each year on a 3-month fall retreat, presenting them with the teachings of the three divisions of Tibetan Buddhism: Hinayana (Foundational Vehicle), Mahayana (Great Vehicle), and Vajrayana (Indestructible Vehicle). He continued to do this for thirteen years, and the teachings he gave have been transcribed and digested into the three volumes ofThe Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, one volume for each vehicle.
These volumes are one of the very finest ways to immerse oneself in the teachings of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and they are presented by one of the most profound expositors of Buddhism to arrive in the West. Trungpa Rinpoche loved the Western language and culture, and he presented the teachings in Western idiom, translating the often culturally unfamiliar images beautifully into English.
