Radiating Confidence: The Shambhala Warrior’s Way of Fearless Wisdom

The Shambhala path begins with the view that the manifold conditions of our lives, from the most exalted to the most commonplace, are permeated with a natural sense of goodness. Simply by looking directly at our ordinary experience through the practice of meditation, we discover an underlying continuity of wholesome and wakeful dignity. In Radiating Confidence, Ösel Tendzin presents a clear and insightful explanation of the stages on this profound path—from the discovery of basic goodness and the essence of warriorship to the radiant vision of the Great Eastern Sun, the primordial source of confidence in our lives. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche empowered Ösel Tendzin, born Thomas F. Rich, as his dharma successor and the first western lineage holder of the Kagyü and Nyingma traditions. Ösel Tendzin was co-founder of Shambhala Training and author of the acclaimed Buddha in the Palm of Your Hand.
