Shambhala Buddhist Study Shambhala vision is rooted in the contemplative teachings of Buddhism, yet is a fresh expression of the spiritual journey for our time; it is available to practitioners of any tradition. Our lineage draws on the wisdom of the Kagyu and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism as inherited by the founder of Shambhala, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and his son and spiritual heir, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. In the mid-1970s Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche began to introduce teachings on Shambhala vision, based on his encounter with the Western world, and on the specific wisdom imparted from the Buddha to King Dawa Sangpo, the first sovereign of the legendary kingdom of Shambhala. This tradition teaches how to live in the world with courage and compassion.
The core teachings of Buddhism are primarily presented in a series of courses known as the Everyday Life Series and the Basic Goodness Series. These classes are designed to complement the weekend-long Shambhala Training meditation workshops. A careful sequence of group practice programs ensures that students can develop according to their own interests and commitments. The path Shambhala Buddhism presents is characterized by a strong emphasis on mindfulness-awareness practice.
"How to be in your life is meditation practice, and how to understand your life is scholarship."
