Shambhala [TSPOTW] The Sacred Path of the Warrior Chögyam Trungpa Dorje Pradul of Mukpo Synopsis by Mireia I. Negre (Yogimani) July 2021 Page !2 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] Book Overview: “In this practical guide to enlightened living, Chögyam Trungpa offers an inspiring vision for our time, based on the figure of the sacred warrior. In ancient times, the warrior learned to master the challenges of life, both on and off the battlefield. He acquired a sense of personal freedom and power--not through violence or aggression, but through gentleness, courage, and self-knowledge. The Japanese samurai, the warrior-kings of Tibet, the knights of medieval Europe, and the warriors of the Native American tribes are a few examples of this universal tradition of wisdom. With this book the warrior's path is opened to contemporary men and women in search of self-mastery and greater fulfillment. Interpreting the warrior's journey in modern terms, Trungpa discusses such skills as synchronizing mind and body, overcoming habitual behaviors, relaxing within discipline, facing the world with openness and fearlessness, and finding the sacred dimension of everyday life. Above all, Trungpa shows that in discovering the basic goodness or human life, the warrior learns to radiate that goodness out into the world for the peace and sanity of others. The Shambhala teachings--named for a legendary Himalayan kingdom where prosperity and happiness reign--thus point to the potential for enlightened conduct that exists within every human being. "The basic wisdom of Shambhala," Trungpa writes, "is that in this world, as it is, we can find a good and meaningful human life that will also serve others. That is our true richness.” Editor’s Preface: “Although the author acknowledges the relationship of the Shambhala teachings to Buddhist principles, nevertheless, this book presents an unmistakably secular rather than religious outlook. Part One explains How to Be a Warrior. The word warrior as used here has nothing to do with violence. It refers to developing bravery so that you aren’t afraid of being yourself. Facing problems and challenges with kindness and compassion rather than cowardice and selfishness. Sitting meditation is a way of Discovering Your Basic Goodness. Part Two of the book focuses on The Warrior’s World and describes life from the perspective of the warrior, who is now able to start discovering magic and thereby transform his/her life into an expression of the sacred. Part Three is titled Authentic Presence, and here the author explains how mundane reference points can – and must – be appreciated in order for them to be transcended, and for the warrior to become The Universal Monarch – a king or queen, ruler of their world. This book is much more than the sum of its parts; it is an enthralling read, but for those who actually apply the principles as they are presented, it also serves as a powerful guide to a brand new way of life…Secular outlook. Speaks directly to the experience and the challenge of being human. Path of warriorship; path of bravery open to any human being who seeks a genuine and fearless existence. Draws on ancient, perhaps even primordial, wisdom and principles of human conduct. Inspiration from the warrior culture of Tibet. Tantric texts discuss the legendary kingdom of Shambhala, the path to it and its inner significance. In 1976, Chögyam Trungpa began to emphasize the importance of the Shambhala teachings and gave several talks on the Shambhala principles. In 1977, the author began a series of writings on Shambhala, and he requested his students to initiate a secular, public program of meditation, to which he gave the name ‘Shambhala Training’ including the ”Warrior of Shambhala’ taught jointly with Ösel Tendzin at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado, in the summer of 1979. The Shambhala teachings present, not only the logic of the mind, but also the logic of the heart. Based as much on intuition as on intellect, may the power of these teachings help to liberate all beings from the warring evils of the setting sun.” July 2021 Page !3 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] Foreword: “Delighted to present the vision of Shambhala. This book does not reveal any secrets of the Buddhist Tantric tradition of Shambhala teachings, nor does it present the philosophy of Kalacakra. Rather, this book is a manual for people who have lost the principles of sacredness, dignity and warriorship as they were embodied in the ancient civilizations of India, Tibet, China, Japan and Korea. It shows how to refine one’s way of life and how to propagate the true meaning of warriorship. Inspired by the example and the wisdom of the great Tibetan king, Gesar of Ling by using the principles of Tiger, Lion, Garuda, Dragon (Tak, Seng, Khyung, Druk) which are discussed as the four dignities. We can conduct our lives as warriors with fearlessness and without destroying one another. In this way, the vision of the Great Eastern Sun (Sarchen Nyima) can be promoted and the goodness in everyone’s heart realized without doubt.” July 2021 Page !4 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] PART ONE: How to Be a Warrior CH1 Creating an Enlightened Society: "In Tibet, there are stories about a legendary kingdom that was source of learning and culture for present-day Asian societies. This was a place of peace and prosperity, governed by wise and compassionate rulers. Buddhism placed an important role in the development of the Shambhala society. These teachings are preserved as the Kalacakra Tantra and are considered to be among the most profound wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism. The people of Shambhala began to practice meditation and to follow the Buddhist path of loving kindness and concern for all beings. Not just the rulers but all of the subjects of the kingdom became highly developed people. Some legends say that the entire society had become enlightened and that the kingdom vanished into a more celestial realm. Other legends say that Gesar will reappear from Shambhala leading an army to conquer the forces of darkness. Many scholars, however, believe that the stories of Shambhala are completely mythical. It is possible to see in all these legends the expression of a deeply rooted and very real human desire for a good and fulfilling life. The kingdom of Shambhala was the ground or root of wakefulness and sanity that exists as a potential within every human being. The Shambhala kingdom represents the idea of secular enlightenment; the possibility of uplifting our personal existence and that of others without the help of any religious outlook. The Shambhala teachings are founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help solve the world’s problems. This wisdom does not belong to any one culture or religion, it is a tradition of human warriorship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history. Warriorship does not refer to making war. In this context, is the tradition of human bravery; the tradition of fearlessness. The first principle is not being afraid of who you are; not being afraid of yourself. The important point to realize is that you are never off duty. You can never just relax because the whole world needs help. We first need to discover what inherently we have to offer to the world. We make an effort to examine our own experience in order to see what it contains that is of value in helping others. The second principle is that discovering real goodness comes from appreciating very simple experiences. We experience glimpses of goodness all the time, but we often fail to acknowledge them. We ignore them as mundane but they reveal non- aggression and sanity. The way you step out of the shower, the way you comb your hair, the way you dress, the way you wash your dishes - all of those activities are an extension of sanity; a way of connection with reality. We can uplift ourselves in order to work with reality in a dignified and humorous way. In this book we discuss the ground of an enlightened society and the path towards it." CH2 Discovering Basic Goodness: “By simply being on the spot, your life can become workable and even wonderful. You realize that you are able to sitting like a king or a queen on a throne. An upright posture is extremely important because having an upright back is natural to the human body. Plus, there is dignity that comes from being still and simple. A great deal of chaos in the world occurs because people do not appreciate themselves. We have to accept personal responsibility for uplifting our lives. When you don't punish or condemn yourself, when you relax more and appreciate your body and mind, you begin to contact the fundamental notion of basic goodness in yourself. This provides ground for helping yourself and others. Because we have a mind and body, we can comprehend this world. Existence is wonderful and precious because we don't know how long we will live. How do we discover this kind of appreciation? The discipline for developing both gentleness towards ourselves and appreciation of our world is the sitting practice of meditation which was taught by Lord Buddha over 2,500 years ago. To fully understand this practice, you need direct, personal instruction. We are talking about a very July 2021 Page !5 of !21 ! Shambhala [TSPOTW] basic act: Sitting on the ground assuming a good posture, and developing a sense of our spot, our place on this earth without any expectation. Our life is an endless journey and the practice of meditation provides a vehicle to travel on that road.

The meaning of the word tantra is “eternal stream of continuity”. According to tradition, the Kalachakra Tantra was taught by Buddha Shayamuni to King Suchandra of the mythical kingdom of Shambhala around 2,500 years ago, and its practice cultivated there ever since. Shambhala – also known as Shangrila – is a paradisiacal realm, a land of joy and purity, in which both worries and suffering are unknown. Some sources view Shambhala as a land existing purely in the dimension of energy. The Kalachakra Tantra reached India from Shambhala around 1,000 years ago, before being transmitted to Tibet, where it continues to be practiced today.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Wheel of Time Kalachakra in Context by Lhundub Sopa Kālacakra Tantra
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Wheel of Time Kalachakra in Context by Lhundub Sopa Kālacakra Tantra. Much in this tradition revolves around the concept of time and cycles: from the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of our breath and the practice of controlling the most subtle energies within one's body on the path to enlightenment. The Kalachakra deity represents omniscience, as everything is under the influence of time, he is time and therefore knows all. Similarly, the wheel is beginningless and endless. Among the five main Tibetan schools, the Kalachakra practice appears most prominent in the Jonang tradition, although the practice is found in all five schools. The Jonang tradition is not well known due to historic reasons, but very significant for Kalachakra practice. They established Kalachakra as their main system for practice and have preserved a unique lineage of the Kalachakra practice. The Dalai Lamas have had specific interest in the Kalachakra practice, specifically the First, Second, Seventh, Eighth, and the current Fourteenth Dalai Lama. In Tibet, the Kalachakra astrological system forms one of the main building blocks to compose astrological calendars. The astrology in the Kalachakra is not unlike the Western system, where for example, complicated calculations are required to determine e.g. the exact location of the planets. Very often, the phrase 'as it is outside, so it is within the body' can be found in the Kalachakratantra to emphasize similarities between ourselves and the cosmos; the basis for astrology, but also for even more profound connections and interdependence as taught in the Kalachakra literature.

  • Sense of Shambhala – Results of the Process Team Survey of the Shambhala Community Part 4: Listening to Our Voices Responses T
    1 Sense of Shambhala – Results of the Process Team Survey of the Shambhala Community Part 4: Listening to Our Voices Responses to the Open-Ended Questions Published November, 2020 2 Executive Summary Where are we as a Shambhala community? What are the views, concerns and experiences of the people with varying connections to Shambhala? The goal of the Sense of Shambhala Survey was to listen deeply to all segments of Shambhala, to map the ground and describe how experiences and issues in Shambhala are understood by the individuals who took the time and had the motivation to respond. The survey opened on January 13 and closed on February 13, 2020. Email invitations were sent to 11,666 individuals. A total of 3,541 respondents opened the survey, and 3,093 (27%) answered the initial question. The Sense of Shambhala Survey was extensive and included both closed ended (checkbox and multiple choice) and open-ended questions. The quantitative data from the closed ended questions has been previously reported (See Parts 1-3 at https://shambhala-process-team.org/sense-of-shambhala-survey- the-results-are-here/). This report presents an analysis of the qualitative data recorded in 87 open- ended questions included in the survey. A detailed description of the methodology for analyzing this qualitative data is included in this report as Appendix 1. In summary, a team of volunteer coders read all the responses for a subset of questions and constructed a coding heuristic that grouped the contents of responses into content codes. The team then applied this heuristic to the responses for 87 open-ended survey questions, producing content codes for a total of 17,236 quote segments.

  • Understanding Kalachakra Empowerment and Lineage
    Understanding Kalachakra empowerment and lineage A Kalachakra initiation requires months of planning and preparation and the services of hundreds of monks, lay people and volunteers. It is one of the most elaborate and costly ($5 million, Washington 2011) blessing ceremonies in Buddhism. Regardless of the enormous effort required, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has given the Kalachakra initiation thirty one times throughout the world and preparations have been underway for a year for the next initiation in Bodhgaya, India (in December) where five to six hundred thousand people are expected to attend. Of the millions of people who have received or attended Kalachakra initiations it is doubtful that many have questioned the true origins, lineage, meaning and relevance of this high tantric teaching. As such, I write this article to explore: 1. a basic definition of Kalachakra 2. why His Holiness the Dalai Lama may choose to give Kalachakra empowerments so often given its cost and complexity 3. the main purpose of receiving Kalachakra initiation 4. if receiving Kalachakra initiation provides an opportunity to pursue the sublime tantric path further 5. after receiving the Kalachakra initiation, who is qualified to guide you on the sublime tantric path The word Kalachakra has a rich, complex definition that is too extensive for an article such as this, however it is possible to provide a basic overview. Kalachakra, a Sanskrit word, literally translates to kala meaning time and chakra meaning wheel, together a simple definition could be ultimate wheel of time. Another way to define Kalachakra briefly is the three Kalachakras: external Kalachakra (outer universe: all phenomena), internal Kalachakra (inner universe: body, speech and mind) and other Kalachakra (other universe: enlightened universe).
