Review
"Trungpa's warrior is a most appealing figure, embodying qualities that every spiritual tradition would hold dear. The principal discipline recommended here—being genuine moment after moment—allows one to discover the magic inherent in phenomena, where the synchronization of body and mind becomes an attunement to the natural order."— Yoga Journal
"Trungpa's clear-headed vision shows us that celebrating life is based on appreciating ourselves. This book is a masterpiece of clarity and insight."— East West Journal
"Shambhala provides a clear depiction of the results and, thus, the reasons for meditation practice as a source of strength for daily living and spiritual growth."— Body, Mind & Spirit

Product Description
In this best-selling guide to enlightened living, Chögyam Trungpa offers an inspiring vision for our time, modeled on the universal archetypal symbol of the peaceful warrior. In ancient times, the warrior learned to master the challenges of life, both on and off the battlefield. He acquired a sense of courage and power—not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. With this book the warrior's path is opened to contemporary men and women in search of self-mastery and greater fulfillment. Interpreting the warrior's journey in contemporary terms, Trungpa shows that in discovering the basic goodness of human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. The Shambhala teachings—named for the legendary Himalayan Kingdom where prosperity and happiness reign—point to the potential for enlightened conduct that exists within every human being.
The Shambhala Library is a series of exquisitely designed and produced cloth editions of the world's spiritual and literary classics, both ancient and modern. Perfect for collecting or as gifts, each volume features a sewn binding, decorative endsheets, and a ribbon marker—in a delightful-to-hold 4¼ x 6¾ trim size.

In spite of himself...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior (Paperback)
After several years of studying Shambhala Warriorship (beginning with this book), I am still unable to reconcile Trungpa's behavior with his teachings...and probably never will. Still, I can't deny the tremendous impact his work has had on my life. As another reviewer said, "By all means buy the book." I only want to add that if Trungpa's words speak to you, look for a Shambhala Center in your area. No book can compare to the Shambhala Training program, which gives indepth teaching and practice in this book's basic concepts. You'll also find like-minded others who seek to create enlightened society in this dark age.

Excellent book!,
By
This review is from: Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior (Paperback)
The principles that are discussed in this book are really easy to understand, and very practical. Trungpa uses examples from everyday life quite often, even such trivial acts as putting on your shoes to demonstrate a point such as lha, nyen and lu. It also shows how you can make great change by changing simple habits and making a difference in the world by starting with the home. Really life changing, and I think that I can make great changes in my personal life by reading and applying the concepts of this book in everyday conduct. Give it a try, it just might work for you!

A wonderful book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior (Paperback)
Many people have already reviewed this book; I only want to share this: Out of all the dozens of self-improvement texts I have read, this one stands high above all the rest in my opinion. Basically, instead of telling you how wonderful and successful your life will be if you do everything the author tells you (as is the usual theme in this kind of books); you are told that 1) you are wonderful as you are; and 2) in order to experience this wonderfulness, you must renounce selfishness and become completely open to the suffering of the world. If you are ready for some fresh air, buy this book!
