A slide show of selected photographs by Chögyam Trungpa

There are over 1,500 slides of Chogyam Trungpa's in the Shambhala Archives, mostly images taken by him, as well as some taken of him by his students. Over the past year, Andy and Wendy Karr digitized, color corrected, and catalogued these slides. In First Thought Best Thought, the slide show, Andy and Wendy share a small sample of these images with the Chronicles.

Thank you to Lady Diana Mukpo for permission to make these images available, to the Shambhala Archives for preserving this collection, to the Chogyam Trungpa Legacy Project for its financial support of the digitization of this collection, and to Andy and Wendy Karr for taking on this project and for providing the voice over for this slide show presentation.
