<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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. This timeless classic presents a vision of basic human wisdom that synchronizes the mind and body-what Chgyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. This discipline embodies characteristics that many cultures, regions, and spiritual traditions throughout time have found valuable. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge, discovering the basic goodness of human life and radiating 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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.</b> <p/>This timeless classic presents a vision of basic human wisdom that synchronizes the mind and body--what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior.
