「勇士」一詞，本身可能意味製造戰爭者或好戰份子，但「香巴拉勇士」則與此相反。香巴拉勇士絕不致生戰爭，而是一位創造和平者。香巴拉勇士是那些有意降伏自己對於爭戰與瞋怒之欲望的人。悲傷的質地正是勇士之道的心髓。（香巴拉）勇士完全地與眾人、與他們不同層次的情感情緒和諧同調。我們與好戰份子是剛好相反的。本文摘譯自《東方大日》：香巴拉的智慧，英文版第185頁，〈傳承〉篇章。台北橡樹林2002年亦印行了中文版本的《東方大日》（點按）。
The Shambhala Warrior Creates Peace
The word warrior, by itself, may mean a creator of war or a warmonger, but the warriors of Shambhala are the opposite. The Shambhala warrior does not create war, at all, but is somebody who creates peace. The warriors of Shambhala are those who are interested in subjugating their own desires for war and for aggression. The quality of sadness is precisely the heart of warriorship. The warrior is completely in tune with people and with their various levels of emotionality. We are the opposite of warmongers.
