Transcending Madness The Experience of the Six Bardos Dharma Ocean Series Chogyam Trungpa 9780877736370 Books Reviews

• The discussion of the bardos is done at a very great depth. A great source for reflection on this life as well as gateways.
• In depth discussion of the 6 realms and their function within the context of bardo. Well worth reading.
• A difficult and wonderful reading on a mostly hidden and avoided and extremely necessary subject of our lives. A classic from Chögyam Trungpa and the precious treasure of Tibetan Budhism.
• This book is wonderful for those who have serious interest in Tibetan buddhism and the intricacies of our mind. It's not for beginners. This is a book that is to be read and studied with meticulous patience. This is book that conveys wisdom and insight rather than information. It provides unique into how patterns of anxiety, depression, anger are basically manifestations of samsara--and our inability to distinguish between the reaction of our mind/mindstate on the challenges of living in this world.
• I think that Chögyam's work, teachings, and writings are mostly stellar; I first learned who he was when I discovered his book 'Truth of Suffering'. I couldn't put it down. When I started this book, however, I was so put-off by the teacher-student-back-and-forth-transcript formatting that I actually put it down and never finished it. That type of disjointed formulation sometimes works well when used for small articles, but it wasn't put together well here at all. The real shame is that there was probably hugely important information there. I just couldn't get through it.
• Thank you for carrying Chogyam's books
• This is a complex book and is not for the layman, inexperienced meditator. It will make a great deal more sense if you are a regular practitioner with a teacher.
• This is an excellent description of the Bardos and the 6 realms. One must have had advanced Shambhala training to appreciate what Chogyam Trungpa has brilliantly laid out for us Shambalians
