Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. That’s what the Shambhala teachings are all about, and this is the book that has been presenting them to a wide and appreciative audience for more than twenty years.

Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior This was a book recommended by my counselor. I was very skeptical since I am a Christian and this was definitely not a Biblical book. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! Trungpa does not try to convert you to Buddha or anything like that. This book is a joy to read. Easy to put into practice. Best of all, the results are more than worth whatever you pay for it! I can relax now, I could not before I read this book. I can fall asleep at night! Get this book, you will thank yourself!

Recognized as the eleventh reincarnation of Trungpa Tulku and abbot of Surmang, Chogyam Trungpa (Mukpo) came to the United States after escaping from Communist-occupied Tibet to India in exile, and living in the UK and Canada. Although Trungpa Rinpoche's writings have spanned broad topics in buddhist studies and secular meditation, "Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior," perhaps more than any other, represents his efforts in bringing basic sanity to the western masses. Based on the inherently simple premise that "in order to establish an enlightened society for others, we need to discover what inherently we have to offer the world," he introduces Shambhala as the result of our examination of our own experience: "there is something basically good about our existence as human beings" (29). The book is not religious in any sense; there is no effort to prosyletize and no overtly religious overtones. Although the student of buddhism will see similarities, Trungpa Rinpoche regularly reminds us that warriorship is not limited to any particular culture, time period, or belief system. Warriorship is the basic birthright of all humans and is particularly accessible in both the secular and the sacred worlds.
This book was moving for me and an excellent example of a true Tibetan teacher's legacy for the western world. I recommend it to anyone who seeks a return to basic sanity.
