5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book by a respectful, rebellious student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche,
By
This review is from: Warrior-King Of Shambhala: Remembering Chogyam Trungpa (Paperback)
Jeremy Hayward was one of Trungpa Rinpoche's very first students on Trungpa's arrival in the US in 1971, and remained close to him during the rest of his life. This book is intelligent, open-hearted and sincere without being slavishly devoted in any way.

Jeremy is very pure.,
By Elizabeth M. Olmsted "lodrogarma" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warrior-King Of Shambhala: Remembering Chogyam Trungpa (Paperback)
As one who was there, I was very impressed by the accuracy and the balanced view of this account. I too remembered, and shed a tear or two.Diana Mukpo wrote about Trungpa Rinpoche, as his wife, John Perks, as idiot servant; this is the story from the point of view of a genuine student. Making it more than just a memoir, Jeremy has woven in the background and rationale for the presentation of the Shambhala Teachings, and illustrates how they relate to the more traditional Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Jeremy as scientist, convincingly presents the proposition that nowadays we accept scientific materialism as truth, religion, without ever knowing it. This point, illustrated though his own journey and hesitations, might be the most important insight, in terms of benefiting people right now. 20 of 24 people found the following review helpful

Absolutely Brilliant,
By John A. Perks - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warrior-King Of Shambhala: Remembering Chogyam Trungpa (Paperback)
Most of us wonder what it would be like to live in an enlightened society. Perhaps we even yearn for that. Jeremy Hayward has written a completely absorbing narrative of his encounter with a warrior-king and the creation of an enlightened society. Perhaps if one of Arthur's knights had written such a narrative it would read like this. Highly recommended for an authentic and heartfelt rendering of his experience.
