Course Description
You may purchase the book in paper or in Kindle edition at Amazon or at the Shambhala Publications website.
Starting in 1973 Trungpa Rinpoche began taking his students away each fall for a three-month retreat, presenting the teachings of these three divisions. He continued to do this for thirteen years, and the teachings he gave have been transcribed and digested into the three volumes of The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma. The teachings are based in part on the writings of the great 19th-20th century Tibetan teacher, Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye, writings which Trungpa Rinpoche had studied in Tibet and which he used as inspiration for his talks here in the U.S.
These volumes are one of the very finest ways to immerse oneself in the teachings of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, presented by one of the most accomplished expositors of Buddhism ever to arrive in the West. Trungpa Rinpoche loved Western language and culture, and he presented the teachings in American idiom, translating the often culturally unfamiliar images beautifully into English language and culture. Please join us for a feast of dharma (teachings).
