Caring for others is the basis of worldly success.

If you rise with a positive attitude - because everything is possible, everything is doable - if you have that level of confidence, you exude it. It actually inspires the people around you.

We want to infuse our day with good habits so that we can turn seemingly mundane situations into a ceremony of goodness.

Ultimately, as individuals we each have to ask ourselves to be courageous and apply certain principles.

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.

Shambhala existed in Tibet and has been continued over the years, and now it is in the West. At its core, it is very much dedicated to the basic theme of benefiting others.

Many people think spirituality has nothing to do with success or accomplishing - that it's something you do with removal, with leaving the world.
