Cynicism and Magic

Cynicism and Magic is based on talks given by Chögyam Trungpa during the early days of Naropa University, exploring fundamental Tibetan Buddhist concepts such as karma, ego, and the paramitas within a thought-provoking framework of universal questions. With an intimate teaching style, Trungpa Rinpoche addresses themes like authentic spirituality, enlightenment, and approaching life’s challenges with discipline and openness. Suitable for both newcomers and those revisiting Buddhist principles, the book aims to guide readers toward experiencing a living dharma with curiosity and clarity.
