Punch Worthington: The Peaceful Warrior. By David Worthington

Just a couple weeks ago I was sitting in Angel Stadium watching a Ball Game, with a buddy, Mike. We talked about The Greatness of My Father Punch. Between a dog and one too many beers I said to Mike...Ya know...My Father basically Had No Enemies. My friend Mike, who knew and loved Punch and his politics and struggles....gave me this raised eyebrow look. Really? Make no mistake. I'll be there where some poor bastard is getting his belly kicked-in by corruption and greed. My Father was...hmmm... A Follower - a Leader a Hippy (peace sign) - a U.S Marine (salute) Tattooed on his bicep was "Semper Fi" - tattooed on his Soul: "Solidarity" (fist) a Patriot - a Revolutionary a Citizen - an Outlaw North of the Border - South of the Border Animal Hunter - Animal Lover Knuckle Dragging Offensive Lineman - Leaned out Cross Country Runner and Skier Life Long Beaver Fan - OU Duck Fan (on those days not playing the Beavs) My Father at times made authority...nervous.

The Shambhala Warrior, by Joanna Macy. --by Joanna Macy (Jul 08, 2002) [A Tibetan Legend] "There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. Barbarian powers have arisen. Although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common: weapons of unfathomable devastation and technologies that lay waste the world. It is now, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges. "You cannot go there, for it is not a place. "Now comes the time when great courage is required of the Shambhala warriors, moral and physical courage.

"The Shambhala warriors know they can do this because the weapons are manomaya, mind-made. "How do they train? " Shambhala The Path of the Warrior. Shambhala Warriors - Enlightenment. Coming to us across twelve centuries, the Shambhala prophecy comes from ancient Tibetan Buddhism. The prophecy foretells of a time when all life on Earth is in danger. Great barbarian powers have arisen. Although these powers spend much of their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common: weapons of unfathomable destructive power, and technologies that lay waste our world. Shambhala Training. Shambhala Training is a secular approach to meditation developed by Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chogyam Trungpa and his students.[1][2] It is based on what Trungpa calls Shambhala Vision, which sees enlightened society as not purely mythical, but as realizable by people of all faiths through practices of mindfulness/awareness, non-aggression, and sacred outlook.[3] He writes: The Shambhala Training teachings cover art, society, and politics and the goal of creating an enlightened society.

That goal is presented as not solely a social and political process, but one requiring individuals to develop an awareness of the basic goodness and inherent dignity of themselves, of others, and of the everyday details of the world around them. This is facilitated by cultivating gentleness and bravery.[5] Untitled Document. Ancient Tibetan prophesy and the Kingdom of Shambhala - an interview between Joanna Macy and Choegyal Rinpoche Joanna Macy recounts the ancient Tibetan prophesy of the coming of the Kingdom of Shambhala.

"Tell me, Choegyal Rinpoche, about the coming of the Kingdom of Shambahla. " Among the Tibetans I had been hearing referenced to this ancient prophesy, and conjectures that, after twelve centuries, it was coming true in our time. "Can you please tell me in your own words? " I asked. And slowly, with pauses to reflect, he did. "The Shambhala warriors know they can do this because the weapons are manomaya, mind-made. "How do they train?
