2012 01 24 Krishnamurti and Rinpoche Tribute

A conversation between Jiddu Krishnamurti and Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche....a tribute to both.


Jiddu Krishnamurti (Telugu: జిడ్డు కృష్ణ మూర్తి, Tamil: ஜிட்டு கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி, May 12, 1895 - February 17, 1986) or J. Krishnamurti (Telugu: జే కృష్ణ మూర్తి) was a renowned writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual subjects. His subject matter included: psychological revolution, the nature of the mind, meditation, human relationships, and bringing about positive change in society. He constantly stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasized that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.


Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (Wylie: Chos rgyam Drung pa; February 28, 1939 - April 4, 1987) was a Buddhist meditation master and holder of both the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages, the eleventh Trungpa tülku, a tertön, supreme abbot of the Surmang monasteries, scholar, teacher, poet, artist, and originator of a radical re-presentation of Shambhala vision.

Recognized both by Tibetan Buddhists and by other spiritual practitioners and scholars as a preeminent teacher of Tibetan Buddhism, he was a major, albeit controversial, figure in the dissemination of Tibetan Buddhism to the West, founding Vajradhatu and Naropa University and establishing the Shambhala Training method.

Among his contributions are the translation of a large number of Tibetan texts, the introduction of the Vajrayana teachings to the West, and a presentation of the Buddhadharma largely devoid of ethnic trappings. Regarded as a mahasiddha by many senior lamas, he is seen as having embodied the crazy wisdom (Tib. yeshe chölwa) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Some of his teaching methods and actions were the topic of controversy during his lifetime and afterwards.
