Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. By Chögyam Trungpa. Quotes V

 -Basic goodness is always connected with gentleness.

Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. By Chögyam Trungpa. Quotes IV

 -The genuine heart of sadness comes from feeling that your nonexistent heart is full. You would like to spill your heart's blood, give your heart to others. For the warrior, this experience of sad and tender heart is what gives birth to fearlessness. 

-Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. 

-We have to realize our fear and reconcile ourselves with fear. We should look at how we move, how we talk, how we conduct ourselves, how we chew our nails, how we sometimes put our hands in our pockets uselessly. 

-Because we possess such fear, we also are potentially entitled to experience fearlessness. 

-When you begin to feel comfortable being a gentle and decent person, you reindeer horns no longer have little hairs growing on them, they are becoming real horns. Fear evolves into fearlessness naturally, very simply and quite straightforwardly. 

-The ideal of warriorship is that the warrior should be sad and tender, and because of that the warrior can be very brave as well. Without that heartfelt sadness, bravery is brittle. 

Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. By Chögyam Trungpa. Quotes III

 -In your daily life, you should also be aware of your posture, your head and shoulders, how you walk, and how you look at people. Even when you are not meditating, you can maintain a dignified state of existence. 

-From being open and honest with ourselves, we can also learn to be open with others. 

-We should appreciate what we have. 

-The point of warriorship is to work personally with your situation now, as it is. 

-We should feel that it is wonderful to be in this world. 

-When you slouch, you are trying to hide your heart, trying to protect it by slumping over. But when you sit upright but relaxed in the posture of meditation, your heart is naked. Your entire being is exposed, to yourself, first of all, but to others as well. 

-If you search for awakened heart, if you put your hand through your rib cage and feel for it, there is nothing there except for tenderness. You feel sore and soft, and if you open your eyes to the rest of the world, you feel tremendous sadness. This kind of sadness doesn't come from being mistreated. You don't feel sad because someone has insulted you or because you feel impoverished. Rather, this experience of sadness is unconditioned. It occurs because your heart is completely exposed. There is no skin or tissue covering it; it is pure raw meat. Even if a tiny mosquito lands on it, you feel so touched. Your experience is raw and tender and so personal.
