Summary: The Demise of the Lord of Form!
Comment: I read the book in college, and then again last year. I just reread the introduction and recieved the answer I've been looking for the last 3 years. The blockage is the creation of the form. This of course is the idea of he imageless (read formless) creator. That's all you need epending on where you are. This is similar to the Ashlagian idea of 'Mati v'lo Mati' (to reach and not to reach) or as Trungpa says "not too tight, not too loose. To loose, we don't get anywhere (no desire) to tight, we create a form ( an idol). I know buddhists meditate in fornt of a form, but you should ask them about that!

Summary: It does what it says on the tin
Comment: A no-nonsense, firm, but gentle warning note to those of us committed to the so-called path of self-development. Trungpa patiently brings into fresh air the dangerous and destructive method by which we typically approach the notion of spirituality: i.e. as something to be developed, learnt through discipline or otherwise achieved much as we seek to aquire the prizes in our everyday material life. Trungpa's message was ideally suited to that aspect of ourselves - the Eastern mind as much as the Western - which is constantly looking for something external through which we hope to secure our sense of self and make us happy. Exposing this tendency with great skill and clarity, he outlines a more open, direct and yet infinitely more challenging way to experience Mind beyond the self through correct meditation. Even amongst Buddhist literature this is wonderfully refreshing and at once destroys all hope of bettering oneself and yet points to a far brighter fact: that true liberation inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. The often rather painful process of spiritual awakening is made sense of in this book if we begin to see that our emotions and thoughts cloud our direct experience of reality. An apt message befitting an enlightened being who wore his suits 2 sizes too small as a constant reminder of the irritation and dissatisfaction of the samsaric world.
