"What the warrior renounces is anything in his experience that is a barrier between himslef and others. In other words, renunciation is making yourself more available, more gentle and open to others."

- Chogyam Trungpa, Shambhala

Reviews:
A reader from Surrey, British Columbia , 10/23/97, Shambhala may help one to live life to the fullest.
Chogyam Trungpa's book, Shambhala : The Sacred Path of the Warrior, is a must-read, especially in light of the tragedy in Rwanda and the embarrassment of the Canadian army in Somalia. We must endeavor to overcome old ways that do harm to the way of the warrior, and practise the bright shining path that is the Shambhala path. Chogyam's words are best not read once, but many times until his words are lived out. This book is recommended reading for anyone who wishes to understand the true path of warriorship in times of peace.
