Trungpa Rinpoche was a Buddhist visionary, an artist of great imagination, a wild beardless prophet, and a man with a very human heart. His brief and radical appearance in the Western dharmic landscape opened up a vast horizon for many of us. Once embodied, he is now free, and we are free to meet him in the land beyond duality, a land that was always home for him. I met him in the early seventies, and was sorry to see him leave us some brief but rich fifteen years later. In those few years, he and his students spun into being a mandala-world that continues to grow in depth and wisdom.
