In a teaching he describes as "200 percent potent," Chögyam Trungpa reveals how the spiritual path is a raw and rugged "unlearning" process that draws us away from the comfort of conventional expectations and conceptual attitudes, leading us towards a naked encounter with reality. The tantric paradigm for this process is the story of the Indian master Naropa (1016-1100), who was among the enlightened teachers of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

Naropa was the leading scholar at Nalanda, the Buddhist monastic university, when he embarked upon the lonely and arduous path to enlightenment. After a series of daunting trials, he was prepared to receive the direct transmission of the awakened state of mind from his guru, Tilopa. The teachings he received, including those known as the six doctrines of Naropa, have been passed down in the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism for a millennium.

Trungpa's commentary shows the relevance of Naropa's extraordinary journey for today's practitioners who seek to follow the spiritual path. Naropa's story makes it possible to delineate in very concrete terms the various levels of spiritual development that lead to the student's readiness to meet the teacher's mind. Trungpa thus opens to Western students of Buddhism the path of devotion and surrender to the guru as the embodiment and representative of reality.

The tantric paradigm presented in Naropa's story reveals how the spiritual path is a "unlearning" process that draws us away from the comfort of conventional expectations and conceptual attitudes, leading us towards a naked encounter with reality. Trungpa's teaching, which he describes as "200 percent potent," emphasizes the importance of this raw and rugged journey, and how it is essential for those seeking to follow the spiritual path.

Naropa's story, set in the context of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, serves as a powerful example of the levels of spiritual development that a student must undergo to be ready to receive the direct transmission of the awakened state of mind from the guru. Trungpa's commentary on Naropa's journey opens up this path of devotion and surrender to the guru for Western students of Buddhism, allowing them to understand the profound relevance of this ancient wisdom for their own spiritual development.
