Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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.

Love the book, the narrator not so much

Considering that the sacred path is an equanimous one, a soft, soothing, and calm voice would have carried and demonstrated the message beautifully. The narrator’s work and effort is appreciated (especially since I love audiobooks more than reading); her voice just wasn’t the perfect fit for this material - according to my aesthetic taste, that is.

The content is ruined by the narrator

The content of the book is amazing but I feel that narrators tone makes it a lot less effective. It would be a good idea for you to get someone else to read it. Try Roger Clark!
