Through these talks you can see his respect for the Zen tradition and how it led to his using certain Zen forms for his public meditation hall rituals. He discusses the differences in style, feeling, and emphasis that distinguish the two paths and shows what each one might learn from the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso included are Trungpa Rinpoche's commentary on the Ten Oxherding Pictures and an essay he composed in memory of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, a close friend with whom he continually exchanged ideas for furthering buddhadharma in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chyam Trungpa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611802911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611802917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Chyam Trungpa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058364281087,"sku":"9781611802917","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53c28c31-eb35-4a5f-9183-a2e9abe4cbc5.jpg?v=1685052145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-teacup-and-the-skullcup-chogyam-trungpa-9781611802917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
