Many of us, without even realizing it, are dominated by fear. We might
be aware of some of our fears - perhaps we are afraid of public
speaking, of financial hardship, or of losing a loved one. Chgyam
Trungpa shows us that most of us suffer from a far more pervasive
fearfulness: fear of ourselves. We feel ashamed and embarrassed to look
at our feelings or acknowledge our styles of thinking and acting; we
don't want to face the reality of our moment-to-moment experience. It is
this fear that keeps us trapped in cycles of suffering, despair, and
distress.
Chgyam Trungpa offers us a vision of moving beyond fear to discover the
innate bravery, trust, and delight in life that lies at the core of our
being. Drawing on the Shambhala Buddhist teachings, he explains how we
can each become a spiritual warrior: a person who faces each moment of
life with openness and fearlessness. "The ultimate definition of bravery
is not being afraid of who you are," writes Chgyam Trungpa. In this
audiobook, he offers the insights and strategies to claim victory over
fear.
