Het inmiddels klassieke 'Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism' is het verslag van twee reeksen lezingen die Trungpa Rinpoche in 1970-71 hield. “Eerst besproken worden de verschillende manieren waarop mensen zich bezighouden met spiritueel materialisme, de vele vormen van zelfbedrog waarin aspiranten kunnen vervallen. Na deze tocht langs de zijsporen onderweg worden de grote lijnen van het ware spirituele pad besproken. De gepresenteerde benadering is klassiek boeddhistisch – niet in formele zin, maar in de zin van het presenteren van de kern van de boeddhistische benadering van spiritualiteit. Hoewel de boeddhistische benadering niet theïstisch is, is deze niet in tegenspraak met de theïstische disciplines. de manieren zijn een kwestie van nadruk en methode. De fundamentele problemen van spiritueel materialisme zijn gemeenschappelijk voor alle spirituele disciplines. ( ) There were parts of this classic text that were really invaluable—the portions on being open to oneself, being a spiritual “collector,” the monkey, and a smooth bird’s eye view of the paramitas come to mind. The trouble for me was that 97% of its 240-some pages dwell in abstraction without stories to illustrate or make familiar the concepts presented, something that a lot of Buddhism books have excelled at since the publication of this one. In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he said, "even spirituality." His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for nearly thirty years, and remains fresh as ever today. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights a common pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal human tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement--the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem," Trungpa says, "is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality." His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for over thirty years and remains fresh as ever today. This edition includes a foreward by Chögyam Trungpa's son and lineage holder Sakyong Mipham.
