More about the book

The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa presents the writings of a pivotal Tibetan teacher who introduced Buddhism to the West, organized into eight thematic volumes. This collection features a variety of formats, including full-length books, articles, seminar transcripts, poems, plays, and interviews, many previously unavailable in book form. It spans memoirs of Trungpa's escape from Chinese-occupied Tibet, discussions on psychology, mind, and meditation, as well as original verse and calligraphy, showcasing his diverse vision and teachings. Volume Eight addresses culture, state, and society, reprinting two complete works: Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior and Great Eastern Sun: The Wisdom of Shambhala. These texts explore the concept of an ancient kingdom in Central Asia as a model for enlightened society and the inherent potential for wakefulness within all individuals. Selected writings delve into political consciousness, martial arts, and the essence of warriorship. Additionally, two unpublished articles, "The Martial Arts and the Art of War" and "The Seven Treasures of the Universal Monarch," further illuminate the significance of warriorship in Buddhist teachings and the world of the Shambhala monarch.
