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.

To shift the direction of our planet, we must now be willing to experiment with the theory that within the speed and stress, we are good.

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.

The principles of Buddhism have become more commonplace, which is a good thing.

I want people to know you can live a life that is less aggressive and still have success.

If we cut speed and relax with what’s going on in our life right now, kindness and patience will naturally come about.

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