About the Warrior’s stand.
Here’s little bit from Chogyam Trungpa, who talked about the tender hearts of warriors on the path.
“The principle of meditative awareness gives you a good seat on this earth. When you take your seat on the earth properly, you do not need witnesses to confirm your validity. You are completely grounded in reality. At this point, you begin to experience the fundamental notion of fearlessness.
You are willing to be awake in whatever situation may present itself to you, and you feel that you can take command of your life altogether, because you are not on the side of either success or failure.
Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.
Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or of feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears.
In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart.”
