Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism-突破精神唯物主义

作者：Chogyam Trungpa

书名：Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism《突破精神唯物主义》

中文简介：巴仁波切在精神唯物主义中的具有开创性的作品最初起源于科罗拉多，在20世纪70年代这只是一系列简短的交谈。数年后，因为这些材料足够具有震撼力而被史蒂芬·乔布斯加入了他的泛读书单里。召唤精神过程是一个“微妙的过程”，巴仁波切概述了佛教哲学，揭示了精神成长是如何与超越自我的残暴的磨难、困惑以及发现启示相互关联的。

英文简介：In this modern spiritual classic, the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa highlights the commonest pitfall to which every aspirant on the spiritual path falls prey: what he calls spiritual materialism. The universal tendency, he shows, is to see spirituality as a process of self-improvement—the impulse to develop and refine the ego when the ego is, by nature, essentially empty. "The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use," he said, "even spirituality." His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it. It is a message that has resonated with students for nearly thirty years, and remains fresh as ever today.
