About this title

From the Publisher:

The practical companion to Chogyam Trungpa's classic volume Shumbhala, Sacred World uses stories of Shambhala students and detailed instructions for meditation and other mindfulness exercises to teach warriorship, the practice of awareness in daily life. Combining Tibetan Buddhist teachings and pre-Buddhist shamanic practices such as invoking dralas, or living energies, and raising windhorse, a natural inner power, warriorship also emphasizes working with others to found a new Shambhala which is both an inner peace that fosters compassionate connection and an external peaceful community. Shambhala philosophy comes alive through these practical guidelines that thread the earthy sanity of Buddhist mindfulness practice with the energetic aspect of shamanism to provide a way to re-create oneself and one's world.

Review:

The real purpose of a spiritually-enlightened student's life is to make the world a better place: this covers the Shambhala practice of living each day to its fullest, presenting a particular path of self-renewal and lifestyle which promotes both giving and learning. -- Midwest Book Review
