Chogyam Trungpa (1940�1987), one of the most influential Tibetan meditation masters to practice and teach in the West, used to say that wisdom can be taught only in the form of a hint--a hint that inclines us to recognize the wisdom in us all along. Here are 108 marvelous hints from the renowned teacher so supremely skilled at dropping them. The Pocket Chogyam Trungpa will serve as a compact introduction to his teachings for those not yet familiar with him--and as a wonderful source of daily inspiration for those who are.

Chogyam Trungpa (1940�1987)�meditation master, teacher, and artist--founded Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, the first Buddhist-inspired university in North America; the Shambhala Training program; and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International.
