Crazy Wisdom Film

crazy-wisdom-film-2007Goal: $135,000 • Funded: $20,000

(2007) To create a portrait of the Vidyadhara, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche that reflects his unique genius and the major role he played in bringing Tibetan Buddhist teachings to the West.

The Trust’s grant of $20,000 covers the remaining production costs. An additional $114,950 is needed for post-production editing, sound design, music and music rights, graphics and lab work. The Shambhala community is invited to contribute to help complete this project!

This feature-length documentary film on the life and work of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche has been in the making for several years and is now at a pivotal stage of development. The basic aspiration is to create a portrait of the Vidyadhara that reflects his unique genius and the major role he played in bringing Tibetan Buddhist teachings to the west.  This portrait will include a look at his life in Tibet, an exploration of his “crazy wisdom” teaching approach, his vision of creating an enlightened society through the Shambhala teachings and Dharma Art, and his own unwavering commitment to being a full human being with a completely open heart and mind. The film is intended for world-wide distribution and community use.
