Shambhala Training Level Two:
Birth of the Warrior
Acknowledging fear is not a cause for depression or discouragement. Because we possess such fear, we also are potentially entitled to experience fearlessness. True fearlessness is not the reduction of fear, but going beyond fear."
--Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche,
"Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior"
Prerequisite: Completion of Level One.
In Birth of the Warrior we examine our habitual tendencies, fears and defense mechanisms, building on the foundation of the meditation practice introduced in Shambhala Training Level One.
We explore how habitual ways of thinking and experience obscure the raw brilliance of the world we live in and our own genuineness and tenderness. We learn how to work with the fear that occurs when we move forward out of these habitual patterns. This second level of Shambhala Training continues to work with meditation practice, as well as the obstacles that can arise as our meditation practice develops.
