CTR = Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche 10-03-13 - Alan Watts and Chogyam Trungpa as told by Sam Bercholz - from the Chronicles Project. [audio] Sam Bercholz is the founder of Shambhala Publications (publisher of two of my books). I remember buying books from him in the sixties at his little hole-in-the-wall store on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. Sam and I were talking about mysterious events surrounding the death of Alan Watts and he told me that Trungpa was with Alan earlier that evening. He said that Trungpa loved Alan Watts' books and thought he must be enlightened - until he met him - though that didn't diminish Trungpa's respect for Watts and his work. Sam said he went to Sokoji and heard Shunryu Suzuki speak, liked Suzuki but was turned off by some people or maybe some person and didn't go back. He went on to become a close disciple of Chogyam Trungpa. - dc In her biography, Dragon Thunder, Diana Mukpo, Trungpa's wife writes: While we were in
California, Rinpoche also had a remarkable visit with Shunryu Suzuki
Roshi, the founder of San Francisco Zen Center. Suzuki Roshi had been in
America for more than ten years, and a large community of practitioners
had grown up around him. He had an extraordinary effect on Buddhism in
America. One would have to call him the true grandfather of the Practice
Lineage in this country. . .
In meeting Roshi, Rinpoche said that he had met his first
real spiritual friend in America. . . Rinpoche was also quite taken by
certain aspects of the Japanese aesthetic. . . . However, what was most
important about this first meeting was the heart connection between
Rinpoche and Roshi. After we left, Rinpoche said that Suzuki Roshi was
the first person he met in America who reminded him of his own teacher,
Jamgon Kongtrul. Mukpo, Diana J. Dragon Thunder. p. 111-113 Thanks to Jim Lowrey for sending this.
