Text by Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche: “More and more, I think it is just so unfortunate that Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche died so young. If he were alive, if he were here, he could spontaneously, from his ocean-like wisdom mind, fish out some sort of method of torma offering that is applicable to non-Tibetan minds. And if he did that, all the lamas would be behind him, definitely all the Kagyu and Nyingma lamas.”
