The controversial monk who brought his “crazy wisdom” form of Buddhism to the West in the 60s and 70s, Chogyam Trungpa was a larger-than-life character known almost as much for his drinking and womanizing as for his teachings. Johanna Demetrakas’ profile features Pema Chodron, Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg and Robert Thurman.
