The Warrior View Chogyam Trungpa, in his book, Shambala, The Sacred Path of the Warrior presents another view. Trungpa believes that our desire to be hopeful leads to the ambush of hope. He believes that wanting hope is self-defeating. In Chant and Be Happy, the teachings of A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada state, The mind is always concocting objects of happiness. I am always thinking, 'This will make me happy,' or 'That will make me happy.
Happiness is here.
It is as though we are riding on a chariot behind an unbridled horse. We have no power over where we are going but can only sit in horror and watch helplessly. Trungpa believes that we become Shambala Warriors who conquer negativity and self-doubt and in the process achieve the happiness and wisdom necessary to overcome the setbacks and crises in our lives. Trungpa encourages us to become warriors of the outrageous. By this he does not mean that we are to become disrespectful or intolerable.
