Through Spiritual Materialism is a book that will not leave you indifferent. It was written by Chögyam Trungpa, a Tibetan master born in 1939. This work is an invitation to question our beliefs about spirituality and to explore an authentic path of transformation. Trungpa Rinpoche was a key figure in the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. He was noted for his innovative and direct approach. Through his teaching, he demystified many misconceptions about spirituality. He also showed how spiritual materialism can become an obstacle in the quest for genuine awakening.
His style combines the depth of Buddhist thought with great clarity. His words guide us through an exploration of how the Western mind tends to appropriate spirituality for selfish ends. Instead of using the Dharma as a means to strengthen personal identity, he invites us to surrender to reality as it is. With courage and authenticity. Throughout his teachings, he emphasises the importance of meditation as a central tool for awakening lucidity and compassion in daily life.
In addition to being a teacher of great impact, he founded Naropa University and established the Shambhala lineage. This was a spiritual path that integrates Buddhist wisdom with lay life. His legacy has influenced generations of practitioners. And it has offered a vision of spirituality far removed from idealisation and focused on personal responsibility and openness to the present. In our Càntir catalogue you can find some of his most interesting works: Buddhist psychology, Cynicism and magic, The myth of freedom, The future is free... In addition, you can also find books about one of his main disciples: Pema Chödrona Buddhist nun based in Canada.
Beyond time and geography, Chögyam Trungpa's teachings live on, reminding us that true spirituality is not an escape, but a deep engagement with reality and an awakened heart.
