Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
- Used Book in Good Condition
This modern spiritual classic highlights a trick we play on ourselves and offers a brighter reality: liberation by letting go of the self rather than working to improve it
Â
The Tibetan meditation master ChÃ¶gyam Trungpa calls attention to the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he callsÂ spiritual materialism. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he says, "even spirituality." The universal tendency is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvementâ€”the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty.

Trungpa's incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from these false comforts. Featuring a new foreward by his son and lineage holder, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism has resonated with students for nearly thirty yearsâ€”and remains as fresh as ever today.
