Shambala: The Path of the Warrior

**SageTree** · 01-14-2010, 03:32 PM

It is my hope you find something in this to inspire you, or that it helps you understand me ;that it helped me along my journey of the Spirit.

This is a book written and conceptualized by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. I found it extremely helpful and full of understandable metaphors which compelled my thoughts and considerations in a direction that I have been working on in my head for a long time.

That is a place of greater sociability with courage and kindness in doing it.

People seem to get along with me and enjoy talking with me, as I do with them. Yet there are times I feel like I could be extending myself more to all people. That it is possible, from the large to the mundane interactions that I have each day. Everyone we meet we can touch in some way. From a smile and to reaching for the moon.

Another, thing is that I feel tired when I spend time with lots of people in loud places and tend towards seclusion or quiet. After and in general I trend that way, in life. I wanted to look at this as well, which is talked about specifically and holistically though out the book.

There are many topics addressed at helping to be a pillar of good society and talks at length about particular concepts and ideas to examine and consider.

The Shamabala naming, comes from the stories and beliefs of the Kingdom that actualized the teachings of Buddha, then created a society embodying the Dharma according to Him.

While Rinpoche is Buddhist, his teaching are offered in a secular way. Althought largely drawn up, the terminology of Buddhism hardly arises. Rather, he teaches through Tibetan words, stories and beliefs, as well as many other relevant metaphors from other cultures. For me it was refreshing to read a narrative teaching of the Dharma, practically without mentioning it.

Here is a glossary of terms that are with in the book. Perhaps searching for one thing you may stumble upon other things that I hope make sense and offer you peace and knowing.
