I found it opaque the first time through. Later, oral explanations from Ngak’chang Rinpoche made it make sense.

Oh that's interesting. If I may, were the oral explanations technical in nature, or would you say they were more personal — in the context of your student:teacher relationship — which opened up the possibility for Trungpa's teaching to make sense?

Yes, I know someone who says that laughter is prajna, but fake laughter is the sound of confusion.

Seems like a key feature of many of the 70s mentor-guru dudes, for better or worse (RAW, Osho, Trungpa...)
