Chögyam Trungpa Legacy Project | Halifax Panel Discussion Now on Legacy Website. Shambhala Training Glossary. Welcome. Am I Reincarnated? Gesar Mukpo. V: Gesar la, what was it like growing up with an unconventional dad in a house fashioned into a court or cultural center thronged by poets, artists, educators, businessmen, medical professionals and all sorts of characters from a diverse community? G.M: It was very busy and very fascinating. There was always a sense of something important going on constantly and as a child I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on but I knew that my father was important to lot of people.
It was fun to travel around with him and everywhere he went he was received with lot of fanfare and open hearts. He traveled a lot so I did not get to spend a lot of time with him, which was something I wish I had been able to [do]. V: Would you like to share any childhood memories of your father and what you thought of him as a person, as a father, and as a teacher? I only ever had an argument with my father twice. But in general my father was just always accepting. V: You directed the documentary film “ The Chronicles of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
