The classic guide to enlightened living that first presented the Buddhist path of the warrior to Western readers with a new foreword and cover presentation.
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 Chogyam 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 thirty years."
