Shambhala Warrior: Keeping the Heart Open in Uncertain Times. Lama Yeshe Jinpa Rinpoche
Shambhala Warrior: Keeping the Heart Open in Uncertain Times In the Shambhala tradition, the warrior is not someone who conquers others, but one who has the bravery to be fully present. On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Lama Yeshe Jinpa Rinpoche gave this teaching on how to meet fear directly, rest with groundlessness, and keep the heart tender without collapsing or armoring. Lamala's talk explores basic goodness, warriorship, and the confidence to face uncertain times with steadiness, humor, and genuine compassion. Lion's Roar Dharma Center at Do Nga Dargey Temple in Sacramento, California, is a Tibetan Buddhist Temple within the Gelugpa Lineage. Lama Yeshe Jinpa is the spiritual director and resident teacher of Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, which he co-founded with Geshe Losang Gyatso in 1992. In 1995, Lama Jinpa received direct heart/mind transmission from Geshe Gyatso after 25 years of Dharma practice and study. He is one of the few western lamas thus far recognized within the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism, the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
