The Decision to Become a Buddhist
Taking refuge in the Buddha, the dharma and the sangha is something more than a ritual, wrote Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. By taking refuge, we are committing ourselves to freedom.

I Urge and I Request
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.”

Chögyam the Translator
“...he used to amazing effect the fact that no one expected him to speak syntactically perfect English. Subtle, complex, and mind-opening ambiguities, as well as multiple shades and layers of meaning emerged easily from his often slippery sentence structures. ... Trungpa Rinpoche spoke our language, with simplicity and directness. The kind of students he attracted never imagined they would learn his language, let alone recite liturgies or study commentaries in Tibetan. It had to be in English, and there seemed to be little effort needed, since he taught so completely in our language.”
