Three Aspects of a Warrior's Discipline
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Three Aspects of a Warrior's Discipline:
unwavering: "The warrior's discipline is unwavering and all pervasive. Therefore it is like the sun. the light of the sun shines where ever the sun rises. ... The sunshine is all-pervasive. ...the warrior's discipline is not selective. The warrior never neglects his discipline or forgets it. His awareness and sensitivity are constantly extended. He always conducts himself well, with gentleness and warmth. ...and compassion for others. His discipline and dedication are unwavering."
joy: "He takes joy in working with others. ... takes place throughout the warrior's life. ... because you have witnessed your basic goodness,...you have nothing to hang on to, ...you have experienced...sense of renunciation. The celebration is continuous, in spite of the ups and downs or your personal life. That is what is meant by being constantly joyful."
discriminating awareness "...the warrior's discipline... also contains discriminating awareness or skillful intelligence." (pg 71-73) (See: "Bow and Arrow", "Letting Go" and Warrior)
