In this classic guide to enlightened living, meditation master Chogyam Trungpa offers an inspiring vision for our time, based on the ideal of the sacred warrior. In ancient times, the warrior learned to master the challenges of life, both on and off the battlefield. Trungpa shows that in discovering the basic goodness of human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness into the world for the peace and sanity of others. With this book the warrior`s path is opened to modern men and women in search of practical wisdom. Ch?gyam Trungpa -- meditation master, scholar, and artist -- founded the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado; Shambhala Training; and Vajradhatu, an international association of meditation centers. The author is deceased.
