[...] Holiday 101: How to Be Rich. If you are lost in the desert without food and water, even if you have lots of gold in your pack, you can’t eat it and you can’t drink it—so you are still starved and parched. That is analogous to many people who have money. They have no idea how to eat it and how to drink it. ~ Chogyam Trungpa [...]

The Boulder Buddhist/Shambhala community consumes huge amounts of alcohol(well, they did back in the 80s, and early 90s, haven's been back since) especially Ozeki Sake, Rinpoche's favorite. Ozeki sent reps to Boulder to try and figure out why this little college town was consuming more Sake than any other US market. Why did the VCTR drink himself to death? The debate still goes on.

The topic of space (along with consciousness) opens up awareness of dependently-arisen origins. This wisdom seems to have been lost in much contemporary Buddhist discussion that try so hard to avoid the subject of "how did it all get here?"

Thanks, Jeff.

Absolutely brilliant. If you have the original, it would be nice to take the last thirty seconds and loop it for a half hour.

That thirty seconds reminds me of part of the time I was blessed to spend alone with Trungpa in the mountains above Boulder when he first arrived. The time in that meeting spent in silence. From that half minute one can expand into all time.

there is some footage from that summer with Ram Das at Barnet Town Hall. The seminar was on the teachings of Don Juan and Tantric Buddhism. It got a bit riotous at one point with CTR using dear Ram Das' head as an ash tray_though you only hear the roar of laughter and see the chuckling CTR aftermath on the video because I was panning the camera at that moment. Nonetheless, among other highlights, CTR gave his interesting observations about the Native American Tradition and "Little Joe" and the way he smoked his cigarette with such authority (if I remember correctly)_

Love this, Jeff! I thought it was similar-seeming to the video you emailed me the other day. Great work. Thanks for sharing with Karme Choling, and glad we're able to put it out there, get it some more well-deserved views.
