Shambhala vision is universal. It has no bias towards one type of culture or group. It is not ethnocentric and does not encourage one specific kind of person, race, or religion. Shambhala vision promotes a universality in relationship to basic goodness. All human beings are basically good and an enlightened society, at various levels of manifestation, can occur in any culture.

I write about whatever is timely - whatever is happening at the time for me - with what the expressive feeling is.

Each of us holds human destiny in our hands. It will be completely determined by how the mind feels about itself.

We humans have come to a crossroads in our history: we can either destroy the world or create a good future.

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

Our mind is always subject to being distracted by thoughts of what happened in the past and ideas of what could happen in the future, but the living experience is what is happening NOW.

When we have gone beyond the boundaries of hope and fear, we are able to work with whatever comes our way.
