Based on a series of talks given by Chögyam Trungpa during the first session of what was to become Naropa University, Cynicism and Magic introduces key Tibetan Buddhist concepts, including karma, the structure of ego, the paramitas, and the bodhisattva. Employing a unique and intimate teaching style, Trungpa Rinpoche presents these concepts in a larger framework of questions we all have: What is authentic spirituality? Can I find enlightenment and freedom? How should I approach life, death, suffering, and boredom? How can I develop some discipline, patience, and sanity? Whether you are new to Buddhism or returning to the fundamentals of your practice, this book will guide you toward experiencing a living dharma intelligently, with a sense of openness and wonder.

Frank Fairfield's "Duncan & Brady" 7" single is available here: https://thirdmanstore.com/catalog/product/view/id/1086/s/frank-fairfield-duncan-brady-7-vinyl/

For the uninitiated, Frank is a Fresno California native (and now Los Angeles resident) and a genius on the fiddle, guitar, banjo who possesses a broken soulful voice that perfectly reflects the tragedy and damnation of the subject matter reflected in the timeless American music that he’s made his stock and trade through his albums on Tompkins Square, and through countless tours from coast to coast. 

On side A Frank delivers his unique take on the traditional murder ballad Duncan & Brady, which details a barroom shooting of police officer James Brady in St. Louis back in 1890. The song has been interpreted a number of times over the years from a wide range of luminaries, including Leadbelly, Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk and Judy Henske. The B side finds Frank switching up from the guitar to the fiddle and being accompanied by Zac Sokolow also on fiddle performing Devil’s Dream Medley. Devil’s Dream Medley blends the duo fiddles with vocal elements from the song June Apple, popularized by Wade Ward and Doc Watson.

No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can

No One's Gonna Love You Like I Can

In this spontaneous talk, Rinpoche discusses how to understand morality within the context of non-duality. Also, the relationship between non-duality and bodhicitta, how to be useless in day to day life, what are the obstacles to enlightenment, and how to have love and compassion towards oneself, amongst other things.

Buddhism & Morality, 6 Nov 2010, Brighton, UK

Having a transcendental, or bird's-eye view is very important in human relationships. Buddha once said that family and human relationships should be seen as like a hotel, where people check in and then they check out. They may stay a long time, but eventually they go in different directions. There are also many causes and conditions and karmic connections we may not be aware of, but which influence how we interact with others. If we can look at our lives with a more transcendental view, we can transform our human relationships.

(English only) Human Relationships, 11 June 2023, Singapore - Part 2

The song is about counsel given from an elder advising their children and grand children to not get lost in the woods and to know how to find their way back to the village homestead. The woods in our modern context is the city and we're tasked with remembering where home is. By home I mean home, home. Ni songo gela is Venda for 'don't get lost or don't lose your way'.
