Cynicism and Magic, a Buddhist book by Chögyam Trungpa

At CÀNTIR, we aim to offer books that invite reflection and deepen the practice of Buddhism. Our collection ranges from classic texts to contemporary teachings, allowing both experienced practitioners and those approaching the Dharma for the first time to find inspiration. Among our highlights is Cynicism and Magic, a Buddhist book that captures the essence of Chögyam Trungpa's teachings at their peak.

In 1974, Trungpa gave a series of lectures in Boulder, Colorado, at a space that would soon become Naropa University, the first Buddhist institution in the West. Throughout these talks, he explored fundamental topics such as meditation, karma, impermanence, the structure of the ego, and the Vajrayana path, all in his unmistakable style: direct, provocative, and full of humor. In Cynicism and Magic, Trungpa not only dismantles misconceptions about spirituality but also reaffirms what truly holds value in Buddhist practice.

Cynicism and Magic, Chögyam Trungpa in Dialogue.

This Buddhist book captures the vibrant energy of Trungpa at his best, in dialogue with some of the greatest minds of his time, such as Allen Ginsberg, Ram Dass, Joan Halifax y William S. Burroughs. La obra refleja el espíritu de una época en la que el budismo tibetano comenzaba a echar raíces en Occidente, fusionándose con la contracultura y desafiando las estructuras convencionales del pensamiento espiritual.

Chögyam Trungpa was a revolutionary teacher who took Buddhism beyond its traditional boundaries, combining rigor and creativity to make it accessible to a new generation. His legacy lives on in his teachings, which continue to guide seekers around the world today.

In CÀNTIR, you can find Cynicism and magic, along with a careful selection Buddhist books, from philosophical treatises to autobiographical accounts of great masters. We invite you to explore our collection, both in our physical store at Casa Virupa, in Llinars del Vallès (Barcelona), and in our online store.
