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.

What distinguishes Shambhala is its intention of trying to create a society based upon certain principles. So, Shambhala's focus is not just on the individual, but on society as a whole.

Being human is a precious situation, and we shouldn't waste time in useless activities.

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

It seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don't we think about training our mind?

There are no boundaries-only possibilities

When we appreciate something, that means we have allowed ourselves to relax and take it in.
