Spiritual Materialism

Spiritual materialism is a term used by Chogyam Trungpa to describe mistakes spiritual seekers committ which turn that spiritualism into a ego building and confusion creating endeveor. He developed his book, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, from talks given while opening a meditation center in Boulder, CO, explaining Buddhism to North Americans. However, it is quite often used to describe capitalist or commercial efforts such as "new age" bookstores and wealthy lecturers on spirituality. In contrast, see the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order's Right Livelihood Business.
