In this practical guide to the enlightened way of life, Chogyam Trungpa gives an inspiring vision of our time; at the center of this vision is the figure of a sacred warrior. In ancient times, a warrior learned to withstand life's trials - not only on the battlefield, but also outside it. He acquired a sense of personal freedom and power not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. Japanese samurai, warriors-kings of Tibet, knights of medieval Europe, Indians-warriors are only a few examples of this universal tradition of wisdom. The proposed book shows the path of a warrior to the men and women of our time, striving for self-improvement and full realization. Describing the warrior's path in modern language, Trungpa discusses techniques such as synchronizing mind and body, overcoming habits, relaxation within discipline, openness and fearlessness in dealing with the world, and the discovery of the sacred dimension in everyday life. And most importantly: discovering the deep good of human life, a warrior learns to radiate this good on the world around him, contributing to the peace and health of his inhabitants. The teachings of Shambhala named after the legendary Himalayan kingdom of happiness and justice open the possibility of enlightened life to every human being. “The profound wisdom of Shambhala,” Trungpa writes, “says that in this world as it is, we can find a good, meaningful human life dedicated to serving others. This is our true wealth.” Chogyam Trungpa meditation master, teacher and artist, founder of the Naro-pa Institute, author of books on Buddhism and meditation
