Luke Wilson gives Jimmy Fallon the Shambhala pocket Chögyam Trungpa

Luke Wilson gives Jimmy Fallon the Shambhala pocket Chögyam Trungpa June 21, 2016

Not exactly exuding praise, Wilson tells a story of stumbling across a little self-help shop in Canada, finding the book and ultimately being glad to get it off his hands: “I have had to read it a couple times… when I ran out of Sports Illustrated and stuff like that.”

Fallon offers us part of the entry, “Smile at Fear” (which, in full, is):

When you are frightened by something, you have to relate with fear, explore why you are frightened, and develop some sense of conviction. You can actually look at fear. Then fear ceases to be the dominant situation that is going to defeat you. Fear can be conquered. You can be free from fear, if you realize that fear is not the ogre. You can step on fear, and therefore you can attain what is known as fearlessness. But that requires that, when you see fear, you smile.

Fear is not the ogre. Absolutely.
