INSPIRING AMERICAN BUDDHISTS<br><br>
Student: Do you think a new kind of tantric [artistic] tradition might
develop here in the West, if art is being done by Buddhist meditator
artists?<br><br>
Chogyam Trungpa: I very much hope so....It has to be American Buddhists
who become inspired. It is only they who have the understanding to work
with the Western world. It is necessary to have that situation. We reach
a point, a limit to how far we can live on imports. There's some point
where we better manufacture things for ourselves rather than borrowing
from somebody else. Otherwise, we will be enormously in debt.<br><br>
From "The Doha Tradition," Talk Twelve of Fourteen, from
THE TIBETAN BUDDHIST PATH, Summer, 1974, Naropa University. Forthcoming
as a DVD series from shambhalashop.com.<br><br>
