These talks are part of a seminar on the four maras which was co-taught with the Vajra Regent Osel Tendzin and Lady Lila Rich. Chogyam Trungpa gives an overview of the seminar topics and explores the skandha-mara (solidifying the belief in the five skandhas, or components of ego). This was a follow-up seminar to Conquering the Four Maras I, which took place at the Keltic Lodge in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia the previous year in 1980.
