"Trungpa's clear-headed vision shows us that celebrating life is based on appreciating ourselves. This book is a masterpiece of clarity and insight."--"East West Journal" "Trungpa's warrior is a most appealing figure, embodying qualities that every spiritual tradition would hold dear. The principal discipline recommended here--being genuine moment after moment--allows one to discover the magic inherent in phenomena, where the synchronization of body and mind becomes an attunement to the natural order."--"Yoga Journal" ""Shambhala" provides a clear depiction of the results and, thus, the reasons for meditation practice as a source of strength for daily living and spiritual growth."--"Body, Mind & Spirit"
