Chögyam Trungpa




“I received these teachings in response to asking
how we can dispel the darkness of these times.”
Warriorship
Warriorship here does not refer to making war on others.
Aggression is the source of our problems, not the solution.
Here the word 'warrior' is taken from the Tibetan pawo,
which literally means 'one who is brave.

Warriorship in this context is the tradition of human
bravery, or the tradition of fearlessness.

A warrior is one who does not accept the invitation
or challenge.
                                       Chögyam Trungpa
We cannot change the way the world is
But by opening to the world as it is
We may discover that gentleness,
decency and bravery are available not only to
us but to all human beings.

For the Sun Tzu, the key to leading effectively
 is knowing the elements that make up your
    environment and then helping to arrange
  them so that their power becomes available.
Conflict is an inevitable result
of interdependence
and interconnectedness.
It offers rich information
about relationships and
aspirations.
Knowing the other and knowing oneself,
in one hundred battles no danger.

Not knowing the other and knowing oneself,
One victory for one loss.
Not knowing the other and not knowing oneself,
In every battle certain defeat.
Art of War Key C oncepts
Interconnectedness
--the dynamic and interdependent web of causes and effects that make
    up our world, the ‘heaven and the earth’ that we operate in whole and
    ever-changing, giving rise to chaos and challenge

the inevitability of encountering conflict whenever we engage the world

Taking whole as the overarching way of responding to conflict

Knowing as the essence of taking whole and the source of how to be

Victory, inclusive and without aggression, as the mark of the actions of a
   sage leader
Key Assum ptions from Art of War

• Wholeness, interconnectedness, and change are not
  theoretical; they make possibilities
• Conflict is the messenger of wholeness and
  interdependence
• Accounting for everyone’s aspiration -‘Taking whole’-
  leads to enduring solution
• Knowing—combining intellect and intuition—reveals
  what’s available
• Victory can be found not made.
Pacifying
Enriching
Magnetizing
Destroying
For a current situation where there’s
       conflict, tension or everyone feels stuck

                   Taking whole

– Name and describe all the different people and
  groups who are part of this situation. Draw as a
  map, rather than a list
– Once you’ve finished, think again
   •    Who else needs to be on the map?
   •    Think laterally, keep thinking bigger
– what are the aspirations of others?
   • be as specific as possible—include as many as you can
     identify
   • how do you know these are their aspirations?
   • whose aspirations do you not know?

-- what is your desired outcome?
    • how does this outcome forward your organization or
      group’s purpose?
    • have you set unnecessary limits on your outcome?
Effective Leadership

• what dynamics and opportunities are present
  that you might use to accomplish your
  outcomes?
• how can you help to arrange these different
  elements to find victory?
• if you can’t get destination, go for direction

                   Chögyam Trungpa
The warrior who is fearless
is not caught in the ambush of hope
Sadness and joy are one in basic goodness.
Don’t try to push out the nightmare,
Don’t try to bring in the bliss.
Just rest in basic goodness.
“As the warrior proceeds on the path, he or
she may go through phases of intense fear.
Frequently, such fear comes out of nowhere.
It just happens; it just hits you.
It may cause you to question everything in
yourself: everything you have studied,
everything you have learned and understood,
as well as your general life situation.
You feel the wretchedness of the world
around you, as well as within yourself.”
                in Smile at Fear Chögyam Trungpa
October 8
  2012
Warriors at Work

The warriors have discipline; they maintain
that discipline.
Therefore they are uplifted and very joyful.

“We must live by the love of what we will
never see. This is the secret of discipline.”
The basic wisdom of Shambhala 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 richness.

                      Chögyam Trungpa
Who do I choose to be for this world?
I stand among you as one who
 offers a small message of hope. . .
       there are always people who dare
       to seek on the margin of society,
       who are not dependent
       on social acceptance,
       not dependent on social routine,
   and prefer a kind of free-floating
   existence under a state of risk.

          Thomas Merton
Again and again,
some people in the crowd
wake up .

They have no ground in the crowd
and they emerge according to
 broader laws. They carry
strange customs with them,
and demand room for bold gestures.




The future speaks ruthlessly through them.
Ranier Maria Rilke
Beyond Hope and Fear
Do not depend on the hope of results. When
 you are doing the sort of work you have
 taken on, essentially an apostolic work, you
 may have to face the fact that your work
 will be apparently worthless and even
 achieve no result at all, if not perhaps
 results opposite to what you expect.
Beyond Hope and Fear

The range tends to narrow down, but it gets
  much more real. In the end, it is the reality
  of personal relationships that saves
  everything.

                         Thomas Merton
Beyond Hope and Fear

As you get used to this idea, you start more
  and more to concentrate not on the results,
  but on the value, the rightness, the truth of
  the work itself. And there too a great deal
  has to be gone through, as gradually you
  struggle less and less for an idea and more
  and more for specific people.

A Prophecy from the Hopi Nation Elders

Here is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be
afraid, who will try to hold on to the shore.
They are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.

Know that the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore.
Push off into the middle of the river,
and keep our heads above water.
And I say see who is there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally,
least of all ourselves,
for the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey
come to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves.
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and
vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in
a sacred manner and in celebration.

For we are the ones we have been
waiting for.

from the Hopi Elders
A Path for Warriors
We are grateful to discover our right work and happy to be engaged in it.


We embody values and practices that offer us meaningful lives now.
We let go of needing to impact the future.

We accept that we cannot change the systems of power that have
emerged.

We refrain from adding to the aggression, fear and confusion of this
time.

We welcome every opportunity to practice our skills of compassion and
insight, no matter how challenging they may be.

We resist seeking the illusory comfort of certainty and stability.
• We delight when our work achieves good results yet let go
  of needing others to adopt our successes.

• We understand that all problems have complex causes.
  We refrain from placing blame on any one person or
  cause, including ourselves and colleagues.

• We are vigilant with our relationships, mindful to counter
  act the polarizing dynamics of this time.
• We embody the confidence that humans can get through
  anything as long as we're together.

• We stay present to the world as it is with open minds and
  hearts, knowing this nourishes our gentleness, decency
  and bravery.

• We care for ourselves as tenderly as we care for others,
  taking time for rest, reflection and renewal.

• We are richly blessed with moments of delight, humor,
  grace and joy. We are grateful for these.

  • 1. Chögyam Trungpa “I received these teachings in response to asking how we can dispel the darkness of these times.”
  • 2. Warriorship Warriorship here does not refer to making war on others. Aggression is the source of our problems, not the solution. Here the word 'warrior' is taken from the Tibetan pawo, which literally means 'one who is brave. Warriorship in this context is the tradition of human bravery, or the tradition of fearlessness. A warrior is one who does not accept the invitation or challenge. Chögyam Trungpa

  • 11. Art of War Key C oncepts Interconnectedness --the dynamic and interdependent web of causes and effects that make up our world, the ‘heaven and the earth’ that we operate in whole and ever-changing, giving rise to chaos and challenge the inevitability of encountering conflict whenever we engage the world Taking whole as the overarching way of responding to conflict Knowing as the essence of taking whole and the source of how to be Victory, inclusive and without aggression, as the mark of the actions of a sage leader

You feel the wretchedness of the world around you, as well as within yourself.” in Smile at Fear Chögyam Trungpa

  • 32. Who do I choose to be for this world?
  • 33. I stand among you as one who offers a small message of hope. . . there are always people who dare to seek on the margin of society, who are not dependent on social acceptance, not dependent on social routine, and prefer a kind of free-floating existence under a state of risk. Thomas Merton
  • 34. Again and again, some people in the crowd wake up . They have no ground in the crowd and they emerge according to broader laws. They carry strange customs with them, and demand room for bold gestures. The future speaks ruthlessly through them. Ranier Maria Rilke
  • 35. Beyond Hope and Fear Do not depend on the hope of results. When you are doing the sort of work you have taken on, essentially an apostolic work, you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect.
  • 36. Beyond Hope and Fear The range tends to narrow down, but it gets much more real. In the end, it is the reality of personal relationships that saves everything. Thomas Merton
  • 37. Beyond Hope and Fear As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. And there too a great deal has to be gone through, as gradually you struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people.
  • 40. A knif e suspended over a hear t
  • 41. A Prophecy from the Hopi Nation Elders Here is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid, who will try to hold on to the shore. They are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know that the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore. Push off into the middle of the river, and keep our heads above water.
  • 42. And I say see who is there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves, for the moment we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
  • 43. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. For we are the ones we have been waiting for. from the Hopi Elders
  • 44. A Path for Warriors We are grateful to discover our right work and happy to be engaged in it. We embody values and practices that offer us meaningful lives now. We let go of needing to impact the future. We accept that we cannot change the systems of power that have emerged. We refrain from adding to the aggression, fear and confusion of this time. We welcome every opportunity to practice our skills of compassion and insight, no matter how challenging they may be. We resist seeking the illusory comfort of certainty and stability.
  • 45. • We delight when our work achieves good results yet let go of needing others to adopt our successes. • We understand that all problems have complex causes. We refrain from placing blame on any one person or cause, including ourselves and colleagues. • We are vigilant with our relationships, mindful to counter act the polarizing dynamics of this time.
  • 46. • We embody the confidence that humans can get through anything as long as we're together. • We stay present to the world as it is with open minds and hearts, knowing this nourishes our gentleness, decency and bravery. • We care for ourselves as tenderly as we care for others, taking time for rest, reflection and renewal. • We are richly blessed with moments of delight, humor, grace and joy. We are grateful for these.
