I haven't read him specifically, but I've heard a lot of that Trungpa "shitty interpersonal dynamics" stuff. Eliot Weinberger wrote a thing on his relationship with Ginsberg and the way he conducted himself around poets and artists, which was v unflattering.

I left all that out of the article pretty specifically though; acting like this is only a problem with Trungpa seems disingenuous, when in a lot of ways, his teachings are par for the course, judging from a lot of other material I've read from buddhist teachers.
