Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
Chögyam Trungpa
Top 10 Best Quotes
“A great deal of the chaos in the world occurs because people don't appreciate themselves.”
“When we are afraid of ourselves and afraid of the seeming threat the world presents, then we become extremely selfish. We want to build our own little nests, our own cocoons, so that we can live by ourselves in a secure way.”
“You don’t have to rush out to become the mayor of your city or the president of the United States in order to help others, but you can begin with your relatives and friends and the people around you. In fact, you can start with yourself. The important point is to realize that you are never off duty.”
“We must try to think beyond our homes, beyond the fire burning in the fireplace, beyond sending our children to school or getting to work in the morning. We must try to think how we can help this world. If we don’t help, nobody will. It is our turn to help the world.”
“The key to warriorship and the first principle of Shambhala vision is not being afraid of who you are. Ultimately, that is the definition of bravery: not being afraid of yourself.”

From that perspective, healing our society goes hand in hand with healing our personal, elemental connection with the phenomenal world.”
“Warriorship is a continual journey. To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.”
“Shambhala vision teaches that in the face of the world’s great problems, we can be heroic and kind at the same time.”
