      @Meaningness Have you written anything about your perspective on Chogyam Trungpa? Would love to read it if yes!

      No worries :) I was curious because you've mentioned your background with Shambhala, and it seems like the Aro gTer considers him a guy they're generally cool with, but from my outsiders perspective he mostly seems confusing

      Well… there’s two general questions you might be asking, which are how to make sense of what he taught, and “was he a good guy or a bad guy”? The latter question is not useful, I think. Like any major public figure, he did some good things and some bad things.

      I gather from my twitter timeline that MLK did some bad things and some people think it’s important that on this day we know about them… I don’t know what they are and don’t care.

      A question that may be worth asking is how and whether the content of what he taught connected with bad things. One has to wrestle with this in the case of Heidegger, for instance, who was a Nazi official (and also the most important 20th century philosopher imo).

          Setting THAT question aside… I may be able to answer questions about the content of what Trungpa taught!

          Hmm yeah definitely not looking for a good/bad guy take. I've been stewing on what exactly my question is and I'm realizing it may have been: if you have wrestled with the content of his teachings vs. his life have you done any of that in public?
