“We often think of heroism as something that occurs in moments of grave crisis… But in Buddhism, warriorship also points to the sense of not giving up on goodness and kindness. This warriorship is a matter of showing up again and again to life. This is the sense of the courage required to be on the spot in the pouring rain and blazing sun of life experiences. To have this mindset is what it means to train as a chang chub sempa, one who understands that the ultimate victory is found in presence, open-heartedness and altruistic intent.” – Pema Khandro
