There is a basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. It doesn’t belong to any one culture or region or religious tradition—though it can be found in many of them throughout history. It’s what Chögyam Trungpa called the sacred path of the warrior. The sacred warrior conquers the world not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The warrior discovers the basic goodness of human life and radiates 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 twenty years.

Insightful, beautiful, relateable.

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is one of the more amazing things I have read in recent memory. The concepts it relates really struck home with me, and I found myself asking new questions and looking at old ones in new ways. Beautifully written by someone who probably understands very well what it means to open your heart to the world. I bought 2 copies to give one as a gift, and I've already given both away, so I need another I guess.

I would recommend the hell out of this book to anyone looking to understand themselves better, interested in tibetan Buddhism, or hoping to find new ways to bring kindness and compassion into the world.

If you are drawn to it, just get it and read it soon

30 years ago this book along with a lot of reality, changed the path of my life. I was in a small book store and for some reason a limited edition pocket version of this practically flew off the shelf at me. I think the title "Sacred path of the Warrior" made sense at the time because I felt like the effort it took to endure the personal change I was faced with felt like nothing short of Warriorship. I like to think that Trungpa Rinpoche "threw the book at me". There are endless things to be said about this book, the path of human being as Trungpa Rinpoche guides it, and our whole existence on planet earth. If you are drawn to the book for any reason I would recommend not hesitating. Buy it now and dive in.

On an aesthetic note- the size, shape and covers of this edition are really special.

Very helpful book lots of great spiritual wisdom and guidance

I had for my brother who is going through a rough time in life, he is into spirituality but doesn't like to talk about it. This is a nice book because it isnt very pushy and doesn't force it's faith onto the reader. Chogyam Trungpa more talks about the human condition as a whole in a way we can all relate. Not like some other faiths that say this is good and this is bad, if you do this your good but if you do that you're bad. Which makes it easier for my brother to read and not put his defenses up.

This can be dense for some people. Don't let that discourage you. Read it through without worrying too much about understanding everything. As you progress along your path return to it and you'll find that it reveals itself to you in different ways each time. It's like terma. The teachings will appear to you as you can use them. You'll return to the book and wonder where the 'extra' chapters came from. :-)

About the third time I've purchased this book. I keep giving it away. First read it 30 years ago and it has changed my life for the better. I've been hit with some difficult times over the years and this helped keep me going.

Wonderful, deep book. Cheesy, cheap edition.

June 10, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love this book, and have bought multiple copies. I have to complain, though, that I can't stand this edition. It's cheap and tiny. Shambhala Press published a fine full-size hard-cover edition some years back, but that was then and this is now. I'm hoping demand will justify a more attractive, larger edition. Quoting Trungpa, "As you meditate.... may you be bombarded with coconuts of awareness."

More advanced students familiar with Trungpa will know that copies of this book should properly be hand-calligraphed with a brush made of hair from the tail of an albino tiger, raised, never knowing conflict, in an imperial court.

Fundamental text in Shambhala Buddhism, both for the beginner and the long time student. Material is accessible, yet profound and the depth is well worth revisiting repeatedly.

I recommend this book for anyone seeking a better path of living. A warrior isn't necessarily one that does physical battle. Sometimes the battle is with the spirit within.

I love this book. I picked it up before sinking my teeth into Shambhala training at my local Shambhala center. If you are curious about meditation, I'd highly recommend this book. It is eye opening for practitioners and non-practitioners alike. Chogyam Trungpa writes for the common person, and shares insights that bring into focus the profound parts of everyday life. A great book for yourself or a meaningful gift. I couldn't recommend it enough! I've already read it more than more once and I predict I'll be re-reading many times to come.
