On Chögyam Trungpa
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche is the quintessential spiritual guide. His teachings—steeped in ancient tradition and presented with relaxed fluency in western language and culture—are profound, accessible, and fresh. In addition to the buddhadharma, he offered the secular path of Shambhala, cultivating an appreciation of inherent bravery, dignity and goodness beyond cultural and religious bounds. Through his many books, Trungpa Rinpoche continues to be an incomparable source of wisdom and courage in the world. The Chronicles is an ongoing celebration of his profound teachings and life example.

Grain of Sand, Emperor of the Universe
If we begin to realize that we are purely grains of sand, specks of dust in the midst of the universe, then the universe becomes inviting and inspiring. If we are grains of sand, then the rest of the universe, all of space, all the room that there is, is ours, because we are not obstructing anything other than our one grain of sand. Because we are grains of sand, there is tremendous openness. Each of us is the emperor of the universe, the conqueror of the whole universe. We each become the chakravartin, the universal monarch, simply because we are grains of sand.
