Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Chapter 8. Renunciation and Daring. Quotes.

-The situations of fear that exist in our lives provide us with stepping stones to step over our fear.

-On the other side of cowardice is bravery.

-Tenderness contains an element of sadness.

-In order to be a good warrior one has to feel this sad and tender heart. If a person doesn’t feel alone and sad, he cannot be a warrior at all.

-The warrior is sensitive to every aspect of phenomena.

-We are so accustomed to accept what is bad for us and rejecting what is good for us.

-The warrior who has accomplished true renunciation is completely naked and raw, without even skin or tissue. He has renounced putting on a new suit of armor or growing a thick skin, so his bone and morrow are exposed to the world. He has no room and no desire to manipulate situations. He is able to be, quite fearlessly, what he is. At this point, having completely renounced his own comfort and privacy, paradoxically, the warrior finds himself more alone. He is like an island, sitting alone in the middle of a lake. Occasional ferry boats and commuters go back and forth between the shore and the island, but all that activity only expresses the further loneliness, or the aloneness of the island. Although the warrior’s life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he will never be able to completely share his experience with others. The fullness of his experience is his own, and he must live with his own truth. Yes, he is more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others. By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a fuller and fuller broken heart. That is not something to feel bad about, it is a cause for rejoicing. It is entering the warrior’s world.

El corazón del guerrero. Chogyam Trungpa

“El guerrero que ha logrado la verdadera renuncia está completamente desnudo y en carne viva, sin piel ni tejido. Ha renunciado a ponerse una nueva armadura o dejarse crecer una piel gruesa, por lo que su hueso y entrañas están expuestos al mundo. No tiene espacio ni deseo de manipular situaciones. Es capaz de ser, sin temor alguno, lo que es. En este punto, habiendo renunciado por completo a su propia comodidad e intimidad, paradójicamente, el guerrero se encuentra más solo. Es como una isla, sentado solo en medio de un lago. Ocasionalmente, los transbordadores y los viajeros van y vienen entre la costa y la isla, pero toda esa actividad solo expresa la mayor soledad o la soledad de la isla. Aunque la vida del guerrero está dedicada a ayudar a los demás, se da cuenta de que nunca podrá compartir completamente su experiencia con los demás. La plenitud de su experiencia es suya, y debe vivir con su propia verdad. Sí, está cada vez más enamorado del mundo. Esa combinación de historia de amor y soledad es lo que le permite al guerrero acercarse constantemente para ayudar a los demás. Al renunciar a su mundo privado, el guerrero descubre un universo mayor y un corazón roto cada vez más pleno. Eso no es algo por lo que sentirse mal, es motivo de regocijo. Es entrar en el mundo del guerrero.”

Living the same week a few thousand times a calling it a life.
