Crazy Wisdom is a must see for all spiritual practitioners, meditators, and students of Buddhism and Yoga.

Documenting the life of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a Buddhist monk, who de-robbed, married, and bought Buddhist teachings to thousands of Americans in the 1960s and 70s.  Featuring Pema Chodron, Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg, and Robert Thurman, and live footage of Rinpoche’s dharma talks, Johanna Demetrakas’ film posits important questions about Rinpoche’s unconventional teaching.

This film beautifully captures Rinpoche’s wisdom, the truth of his life and teachings, and his profound legacy within Western Buddhism.

Listen to a recent Drishti Point interview with Director Johanna Demetrakas.

Highly Recommended.
