Lineage and Devotion in the Shambhala World

By Peter Volz

When the Vidyadhara Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche came to the West, he did not demand or expect devotion from his students. But he taught tirelessly about the teachers of his lineage, and how genuine spiritual practice depends upon deep lineage connections. Gradually, over time, like a fine mist that eventually soaked us, devotion dawned on the students of Trungpa Rinpoche. Continued

Tribute to Peter Orlovsky

Born in New York City in 1933, Peter dropped out of high school in his senior year to help support his financially troubled family. In 1954 he met Allen Ginsberg in San Francisco. Their 44-year relationship ended with Allen's death in 1997. Peter died in Vermont on May 30.

Peter began writing poetry in 1957 while living with Allen in Paris. Although he never regarded writing as a career, Orlovsky joined the faculty of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado in 1974, where he taught a course called “Poetry for Dumb Students.” In 1979, he received a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to continue his writing.   -Read about more Peter Orlovsky, and contribute to his tribute page

KCL Turns 40

Today the Celebration is fully underway. Right now Jack Niland’s impromptu theatre is performing the CTR play “Castle of Ego” on the front lawn to much laughter, applause and shouts of approval - and there are more plays to come.

Last evening the birthday party and cutting of the cake took place. Director, Jane Arthur, used the ceremonial Director’s sword to make the first slice of the birthday cake while seven former directors stood behind her and even tried to help get the sword through the cardboard that separated the layers. The sword still needs some sharpening to cut through cardboard. -Continue
