About This Book
For the first time ever, revered spiritual leader Sakyong Mipham brings
the lessons of the ancient Shambhala warriors and rulers to the Western
world and shows us how to live our lives with confidence.
Most of us are living in a haze—sometimes helping others, sometimes
helping ourselves, sometimes happy, sometimes sad. We don’t feel in
control of our own lives. The ancient teachings of Shambhala rulership
show us that we all have the ability to rule our own world and live with
confidence. To do this, we need to use our daily lives to be strong, as
opposed to aggressive, and to act with wisdom and compassion. This may
sound difficult, but when we begin to mix this ancient wisdom of
rulership into our everyday life, we have both spiritual and worldly
success. We don’t need to abandon our life and become an ascetic or a
monk in order to gain confidence and achieve this success. We can live
in the world as a ruler no matter what we are doing.
—from Ruling Your World
You’re stuck in the airport security line, late for a flight. The line
isn’t moving. You’re angry at the security personnel for taking so long,
you’re irritated at the other passengers for having so much stuff,
you’re mad at your boss for sending you on this trip in the first place.
By the time you get to your gate you’re angry, deflated, and exhausted.
Then someone cuts in front of you in the line to board and you snap.
“There’s a line, you know!” Is that really you, standing in an airport,
yelling at a stranger, emotions raging?
It happens to most of us more than we’d like to admit. In an instant,
our lives seem out of control and overwhelming. It’s always something,
isn’t it? But what if you could approach every part of your life—from
the smallest decisions to life’s biggest setbacks—with total confidence,
clarity, and control?
According to Sakyong Mipham, we all have that power. The secret is
simple: If you just stop thinking about yourself all the time, happiness
and confidence will come naturally. It sounds absurd and, what’s more,
impossible. But in Ruling Your World, Sakyong Mipham shares ancient
secrets on how to take control of our lives and be successful while
cultivating compassion for others and confidence in our own intelligence
and goodness. The key to this well-being lies in the ancient strategies
of the warrior kings and queens of Shambhala.
The kingdom of Shambhala was an enlightened kingdom of benevolent kings
and queens and fiercely trained warriors. No one knows for sure whether
this kingdom was real or mythical, but there are ancient guidebooks to
this land and practical instructions for creating a Shambhala in your
own world, bringing peace, purpose, and perspective into your life and
environment.
Sakyong Mipham, the descendant of a warrior king, has inherited these
teachings and gives us the lessons and myths of the great rulers and
warriors of Shambhala. He makes these teachings relevant to our
twenty-first-century lives in a fresh and witty voice and helps us all
to realize our potential for power and control in a seemingly
uncontrollable world.
