Chogyam Trungpa Conference
Vienna, Austria
22-24 May, 2020
Meditation, Materialism and Mind: Chogyam Trungpa’s Legacy for the 21st Century.
Hosted by
Chögyam Trungpa Institute, Naropa University & Vienna Shambhala Center
The aim of this 3-day conference is to revisit the teachings of the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, to foster interactions between older and newer practitioners of his teachings and the broader European community, and to encourage the emergence of new scholarship and interest in his work.
With increasing socio-cultural and political divisions throughout the world – in religious and spiritual realms as well – there is a need to review and re-examine our assumptions, about Buddhism, our practice, and our teachers. Chogyam Trungpa’s emphasis on cutting through spiritual materialism and working with fear and doubt, as well as other areas of his work, may be helpful in this time of turmoil.
