Ruling Your World

Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche; Sakyong Mipham

Synopsis:

Sakyong Mipham already rules a spiritual empire that includes Naropa University, the Shambhala Sun, The Mipham Institute, and the Konchok Foundation. Now he shows us that we can rule our own lives and live with confidence–even in our most frazzled moments. The image he offers to inspire us is that of the ancient warrior racing across the desert plains, battle flags flying in the wind. Total direction, total sense of purpose, clarity, stability, and speed.

He shares the secrets of four mythical creatures that exemplify powers we all have within ourselves, but rarely harness when we feel that our lives are out of control. The dragon is strength of mind and selflessness, the tiger contentment and clarity, the lion is energy and discipline, and the winged garuda is the outrageousness we need to get past our fears and conquer the unknown. These valuable qualities are the foundation of the Shambhala myths and the essential tools of a confident warrior and a strong, benevolent ruler. Sakyong Mipham makes these teachings and myths relevant to the modern reader in a fresh and witty voice.
