Crazy Wisdom
by Chogyam Trungpa
Crazy Wisdom is described by Chogyam Trungpa as an innocent
state of mind that has the quality of early morning fresh,
sparkling,
and completely awake. Drawing on the life of Padmasambhava the
Indian teacher who brought Buddhism to Tibet he illustrates the
principle
of crazy wisdom as the starting point for an exciting
spiritual journey.
From this profound point of view, spiritual practice does not provide
comfortable
answers to pain or confusion. On the contrary, painful
emotions can be
appreciated as a challenging opportunity for new discovery. In

innate
wisdom in the midst of everyday life.
