From the back: "In ancient times, the sacred warrior made an inward journey to enlightenment that led to success in battle--and life. Now Chogyam Trungpa, one of the foremost contemporary teachers of Buddhism, reopens this legendary path to fearless living. In SHAMBHALA: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, Trungpa reveals the code of enlightened warriorship that inspired such great leaders and peoples as King David, King Arthur, the Japanese samurai, and the American Indian. Drawing from the teachings of Tibet's age-old warrior culture, he shows us how to use the principles of enlightened warriorship in our own lives to conquer the self-doubt, negativity, and aggression that keep us from genuine happiness and total fulfillment. He tells us how to tap into an inexhaustible reservoir of human wisdom to meet the challenges and overcome the crises of existence. And by showing us how to use meditation to synchronize mind and body, he guides us along the warrior's path to total self-mastery... a way to true warriorship that reawakens us to the magic of the world and reveals the unlimited possibilities for transformation, enlightenment, and leadership that lie within us all.
