Trungpa: Crazy Wisdom: the Movie. [video; SunSpace, Shambhala Sun, Jeremy Hayward, ikebana, Pema Chodron, ]

Click below. With thanks for the tip to my friend and mentor from afar, the lovely/workaholic Molly de Shong of leading Buddhist magazine The Shambhala Sun—check this video highlight of Johanna Demetrakas’ upcoming movie on Mr. Crazy Wisdom himself, Buddhist guru Chogyam Trungpa. Video:

And while you’re at it, check out Shambhala Sun’s strangely named, richly and skillfully executed venture into the worldwideweb, SunSpace. Lots of great blogs, videos, material.
