Beyond Fear

'Because we possess such fear, we also are potentially entitled to experience fearlessness.  True fearlessness is not the reduction of fear, but going beyond fear… Going beyond fear begins when we examine our fear: our anxiety, nervousness, concern, and restlessness.  If we look into our fear, if we look beneath its veneer, the first thing we find is sadness…  That is the first tip of fearlessness, and the first sign of real warriorship… In the Shambhala tradition, discovering fearlessness comes from working with the softness of the human heart.'

- Chögyam Trungpa, in 'Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior.'
