Are you saying that you're a Trung as well - this doesn't even make any sense. Apparently the Naths and the Kadams can't stand to be in the same room with the Dalai.
Sure, there are people who met Trungpa in the early days when there were only few students around him to ask him some dumb questions, but's it's rare these days to be sitting next to a Tulku, much less a Rinpoche, enlightened or no - that's my point. I've read "Double Mirror" by Stephen T. Butterfield, at least twice, perhaps the definitive account of all Trungpa's exploits over the years. Butterfield was a member of Trungpa's 'inner circle' for over ten years and rose to the rank of a assistant to the Vajra Regent, Osel Tendzing, and Butterfield only met Trungpa once, face-to-face, in an airport, after a lecture up in Nova Scotia. According to Allen Ginsburg's auto-biography, Ginsberg himself only met Trungpa one-on-one, twice, once in a gay bar in New York City, and the other time in Trungpa's apartment in Boulder, and neither time did they meditate together!
