Birth of the Warrior: Shambhala Training Level II

Having experienced a taste of basic goodness, we want to go forward. Meditation practice allows us to observe how we create a cocoon of habits to mask our fear. We begin to apprecicate that there is no fundamental obstacle to  experiencing basic goodness.
