Shambhala

The Sacred Path of the Warrior

By: Chogyam Trungpa

Narrated by: Carolyn Rose Gimian

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.

it was much easier to listen to this book that I've been trying to read on Audible. I was able to listen to it completely in three days. Thank you

Spiritual Wisdom at Its Best

Profound and unsparing yet simple and straightforward, Chogyam Trungpa's work does not disappoint.

Carolyn R. Gimian's no-frills narration was consistently clear.

Universality of principles

Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s masterpiece applies to all aspects of humanity. The book is well structured and takes the reader from the ground up and at the end of it the feeling is a great place where you can start your journey to become the brave warrior that is already within you.

I thought provoking book

I really enjoyed listening to this book provoked a lot of thoughts just by the concepts provided by the author I recommend this book for anyone seeking enlightenment practice Buddhism and just generally looking to practice goodness in our world and bringing light to dark places a good drala.

Wonderful insight.

It gives good insight as well as it can remind you of yourself your place and pace and your practice of daily life.
The only negative would be that while she spoke eloquently and sleep and her pronunciation is very good, The auditor comes across as very monotone.

Magical

The reading by Ms. Gimian was pure music. The content fascinating and inspiring. I just completed my second time through. I certainly will be listening again. A beautiful experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed

This is a remarkable book. I want to listen to it again. The narrator has a soothing voice, and it’s amazing how timeless the content is.

One of my favorites

I absolutely love this book. I’ve purchased it 4 different times, and once in audible. The audible narrator is terrible but this book is great and would recommend to everyone. The actual book, not the audible.
