Luminous clarity. Immeasurable vastness

Zen and Tantra - two Buddhist traditions that could hardly be more different when viewed from the outside. One is clear and ascetic - the other is multifaceted and mysterious. In his teachings, the pioneering Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa transcends the boundaries of these traditions without hesitation. Himself anchored in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, he conveys his fascination with the world view and practice of Zen. A profound and poetic encounter. In this collection of lectures from 1974, Chögyam Trungpa draws on his profound knowledge of the various Buddhist schools and makes the essential content of Tantric and Zen Buddhism accessible to his Western students.
