Trungpa, Chogyam
Trungpa, Chogyam (1940–87). An important though somewhat controversial modern master of the
Kagyü and
Nyingma schools who was especially instrumental in popularizing Tibetan
Buddhism in the West. Born in
Tibet, he fled the country in 1959 and was initially resident in the United Kingdom where he studied at Oxford University and founded the
Samyé Ling centre in Scotland. Subsequently he moved to the USA in 1970 where he founded the
Vajradhatu Foundation in 1973. With the founding of
Naropa University in 1974, he realized his vision of creating a university that would combine contemplative studies with traditional Western scholastic and artistic disciplines. In 1977 he founded Shambhala Training, an international network of centers offering secular
meditation programmes designed for the general public. After his death in 1987, Trungpa Rinpoche left a legacy of teachings and writings. Among his many publications are
Born in Tibet,
Cutting through Spiritual Materialism,
The Myth of Freedom, and
Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior.
