Yeah, not to be questioned because they know what we need better than we do, the end justifies the means and it's our lot to simply be clay in their hands and emerge an even better devotee.

Personally I do not equate happiness, peace and fulfillment exactly with the big bang of enlightenment and perpetual bliss.  But maybe the idea of perpetual happiness, peace and fulfillment would be a stretch and similar tail-chasing.

Chogyam Trungpa was a poster child for the "crazy wisdom" tradition and was a poster child for controversial spiritual teacher behavior that seemed to foster breakthroughs for many as well as seemingly damage many more than help.  For me, that he drank himself to death does not the diminish great books he wrote, such as 'Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism', a bit of a treasury of good stuff IMHO.

Take what you need and leave the rest.....
