Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche was one of the main figures in the transmission of Buddhism to the West, especially to North America. As we know, Buddhism began in India, and from there it spread through many different nations and adapted itself to many cultures. The transplantation of the Buddhist teachings across many cultures and times is proof that, as long as human beings exist, fundamentally the nature of people's minds does not change. The fundamental issues that we have to deal with as human beings remain the same, as long as people live on this earth. Therefore, the teachings that Trungpa Rinpoche gave will always be applicable, even many years after his death. Therefore, it is of great importance to gather together and publish his teachings.
In some respects, Chogyam Trungpa's style as a teacher was unorthodox. He dressed in Western clothes and led a life that outwardly was quite secular. He presented the teachings in English and used many colloquial phrases and contemporary examples in his presentation of the dharma. This was very unusual for his time. His life seemed to be a major departure from his monastic upbringing in Tibet. However, interestingly enough, when I traveled back to Surmang Dutsi Tel, his monastery in Tibet, for the first time last summer, it was apparent to me that essentially what he was presenting was very traditional. I felt that there was no fundamental difference in how Buddhism was practiced in Tibet and how it is practiced in the West, in terms of people living their lives according to the dharma and taking the principles of buddhadharma to heart.

Of course, we have a much more complicated and complex society in the West, so the teachings here need to be presented in a different way. Rinpoche understood this. One of the very important ways that he adapted to the West was in his presentation of the Shambhala teachings and his discussion of the concept of creating an enlightened society. These days, most of us don╒t have the option of going into seclusion in a monastery to practice Buddhism. For most people, these principles have to be applied and effective in our day-to-day lives, how we live our lives each day. Therefore, Rinpoche brought forth the ideas that had been practiced and studied in a monastic context in Tibet and started to show how they can be manifested in society. He developed a broad spectrum of ways to apply the teachings to society in North America. Therefore, while Rinpoche appeared to teach in a nontraditional way, fundamentally the pith of what he taught was very traditional.

One of the hallmarks of Rinpoche's way of teaching was to ask students to think for themselves and not to follow anything or anyone with blind faith. The end product was a group of practitioners and students who had tremendous confidence in themselves and in their understanding of the teachings. Rinpoche tried to develop people's own qualities, rather than asking for blind devotion. He firmly believed that Westerners were capable of practicing and understanding the dharma fully and completely. The irony was that his close students had tremendous devotion to him. Because he never tried to make people purely submit to his will and because he wanted people to develop themselves, they also ended up developing great love and respect for him and immense gratitude for his influence on their lives.

From the time that he was a young boy in Tibet, Trungpa Rinpoche was recognized as a terton, a teacher who finds terma, which are the hidden teachings and treasures left by Padmasambhava for the people of future dark ages. The idea is that particular terma teachings will be found at the time that they are most helpful to people and when people can practice these teachings. They are found by realized teachers who have a karmic connection both with Guru Rinpoche and with the practitioners who receive the teachings. Some of these teachings are physically concealed in rocks or lakes or other places in Tibet, and some of them are called "mind terma," because the terton finds them hidden in the realm of space, or the mind. The Tibetan Book of the Dead is a well-known terma text.

Rinpoche found a number of physical terma in Tibet, but perhaps the most important terma that he uncovered were the mind terma that he found after his escape. First he found "The Sadhana of Mahamudra" in Bhutan, when he did a retreat there after he had been living in England for several years. And then in North America, he discovered a number of important Shambhala terma, texts that have to do with how Western students can manifest the teachings, how they can overcome obstacles through manifesting the bravery and confidence of the warrior. Rinpoche's discovery of these teachings is a further confirmation of the deep connection that he had with Westerners and the importance of his role in bringing both the Shambhala and the Buddhist teachings to the West. They are also a sign of his deep faith in Western students to practice and protect the precious holy dharma.

Soon after his arrival in America, Rinpoche began to make plans to bring great Tibetan lineage holders to teach in the West. In that way, he worked to bring together his tradition with the contemporary Western world. He was instrumental in bringing His Holiness the sixteenth Gyalwang Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, to America, and the Buddhist communities established by Rinpoche – along with some of His Holiness' other students – hosted three visits by the Karmapa to America. Trungpa Rinpoche and his students also helped to host the first two visits of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to the United States, as well as a number of visits by His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and other revered spiritual teachers. During the Karmapa's first visit, he proclaimed Chogyam Trungpa as a vajra holder of the practice lineage of the Karma Kagyu. Clearly, whatever unconventional means Rinpoche applied to bringing the dharma to the West, the great teachers of the lineage understood the purity of his intention and the purity of the teachings that he proclaimed.
