About Chogyam Trungpa
Tibetan Buddhist leader Chogyam Trungpa was instrumental in bringing Buddhism to the West. He was born in 1940 in Tibet and was recognized as the reincarnation of a Rinpoche (enlightened teacher) at 13 months old. After moving to England, he abandoned his monk garb: He wanted his Western students to perceive the Buddhist teachings without becoming distracted by exotic trappings. He founded Naropa University in Colorado and wrote several books. He died in 1987.
