In these collected lectures, Trungpa Rinpoche explores the true meaning of freedom, showing listeners how preconceptions, attitudes, and even spiritual practices can become chains that bind them to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair.

This wisdom is accessible to anyone seeking inner transformation—Buddhist or not.
