Synopsis SHAMBHALA is a guide to an enlightened life for the modern warrior. Chögyam Trungpa uses the concept of the Sacred Warrior, as a metaphor for transcending the distractions of modern living and focusing on leading a good and purposeful life. The sacred warriors of ancient times were masters of self-determination who met life's challenges with courage and gentleness. Trungpa emphasizes that this tradition can be found in various cultures--the Japanese samurai, the Nordic seafarers, the leaders of Native American tribes--and is open to anyone who chooses to live by its tenets. Addressing contemporary concerns, SHAMBHALA leads its readers towards a life of fulfillment by teaching such skills as coordinating the mind and body in spiritual union, overcoming bad habits, finding stillness, and facing each day with fearlessness. Most importantly, SHAMBHALA teaches that it is not enough for the warrior to know right from wrong, but that he or she must learn to live their sense of goodness and project that spirit of goodness into the world.
