Whatever we do lays a seed in our deepest consciousness, and one day that seed will grow.

The first thing you have to do is acknowledge the basic and fundamental goodness of all beings. If you don't, then you are going to have conflict. That's at the core of Shambhala.

Shambhala does have unique teachings, as do many Buddhist traditions. For example, certain teachings within Shambhala have to do with raising the personal windhorse, or the energy of the individual, so a person has good fortitude to be able to live a good life.

There are no boundaries-only possibilities

This is bravery: using the challenge of daily life to sharpen our mind and open our heart.

I think Shambhala can be a very strong force as a social example of how you can try to live a life balanced in terms of both the spiritual and the secular.

You need to become more genuine to who you are. So, people pushing you can help take you to the level where you really understand the principles and enter them into action.
