Almaas, Karen Johnson <strong>SHAMBHALA</strong> Summary An innovative spiritual teacher shows how to use desire and passion as a gateway to realizing our full potential.

H. Almaas and Karen Johnson. Most spiritual teachings take the position that desire, wanting, and passion are opposed to the spiritual path. The concern is that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into the mundane, into the physical, and into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens.

After succeeding in their mission, the masterless samurai-known as ronin-all committed ritual suicide.

The historical event has inspired many writers and artists over the years and numerous fictionalized versions and adaptations have emerged. In The 47 Ronin, Sean Michael Wilson has created a historically factual portrait, enhanced by evocative and often lyrical drawings by Akiko Shimojima. While there are other depictions of the story in manga form, this version stands out as being the most accurate and most compelling.
