Special Guest Speaker: Diana Mukpo
Sacred Outlook: Chogyam Trungpa Revealed A Nonconceptual World to Make My Own
An Online Event — Sunday, October 2, 2022, 10 am – 12 pm
The path of waking up relates to all experience—fundamentally it is tuning into life. We are here, we are alive. Trungpa Rinpoche taught a spiritual path that was all about how to engage pragmatically in the world, and how we live our lives. Diana Mukpo will address this important dimension—the outlook we take in how we conduct ourselves in our professional, personal, and psychological experiences. We imbue our intentions with the approach that life is workable and insightful, not a pick and choose situation. Everything we encounter is the real and sacred world that we inhabit, and this personal and direct arena that we occupy is imbued with meaning. Sacred outlook is the awareness that all phenomena belong and are valued in our lives, as they are. It stems from our meditation experience and is a vision or perception of the world and its inhabitants as genuinely beautiful and originally pure. It’s sacred just as it is.
Lady Diana Mukpo was married to Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche for seventeen years. She has been a teacher in the Shambhala community for over 30 years and has helped to plant the banner of Shambhala Buddhism in the West. She is the author of the book Dragon Thunder, which recounts her life with Trungpa Rinpoche. Along with her dedication to expanding the Shambhala teachings, she is also an accomplished dressage rider and trainer and has competed internationally.
“[Diana’s] vision is unyielding and good. Her intention is pure, her intention is to help elegantize the world. From her presence and existence in sharing my life, the Sakyong Wangmo has provided lots of sharp edges and lots of warm memories and lots of sad stories. The Sakyong Wangmo’s vision and her fearlessness and her particular type of impatience has brought us here. Therefore she deserved to sit on the same platform with me as a teacher of Shambhala vision.”- Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
