About this listen

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. Trungpa shows that through discovering the basic goodness of human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others.

Everyone in our modern selfish world should read this book, particularly life coaches and coachees aswell. I learnt a lot about taking kindness and self-discipline to a whole new level. The story and various examples are very relevant and empowering. I recommend this book.

Thought provoking book.

I return to this book all the time - every time I read it I find something completely new- If I was asked to recommend a book on sanity, this would be it. All put across in a poetic but accessible way.

One of my favourite books

Almost 20 years ago this was the book that cemented my connection to spirituality and Buddhism in particular. Each time I read or listen to it new insights emerge. As the original editor Carolyn Rose Gimian is uniquely placed to be the narrator.

A complex and extraordinary classic.
