Book Overview
According to the mandala principle, a prominent feature of tantric Buddhism, all phenomena are part of one reality. Whether good or bad, happy or sad, clear or obscure, everything is interrelated and reflects a single totality. As Ch?gyam Trungpa explains in this book, from the perspective of the mandala principle, existence is orderly chaos. There is chaos and confusion because everything happens by itself, without any external ordering principle. At the same time, whatever happens expresses order and intelligence, wakeful energy and precision. Through meditative practices associated with the mandala princliple, the opposites of experience - confusion and enlightenment, chaos and order, pain and pleasure - are revealed as inseperatble parts of a total vision of reality.

Interesting commentary which is intriguing but elusive.

The concepts in this book focus on the Mandala principle of Buddhism, presented as a series of commentaries and questions from students following each commentary. The author reveals the subtle wisdom behind the mandala principle and how it relates to our own personal styles. It is good reading for those who wish to know more about the perspectives of Buddhism
