About this book

"Drawing on the Shambhala tradition and on Buddhist teachings, [Trungpa] explains how we can each become a spiritual warrior: a person who faces each moment of life with openness and fearlessness ... This book explains: how the practice of sitting meditation can help us to uncover our inherent confidence and bravery; how fear and embarrassment about ourselves keep us trapped in cycles of suffering; the wisdom of loving-kindness and nonaggression; [and] how true invincibility depends on becoming more open and vulnerable."--Page [2] of jacket.
