The most outrageous thing we can do in this world is to accept what happens and fly with it.

Shambhala is a Buddhist tradition with its own unique view and approach.

In a speedy and aggressive culture, we need different principles to live by-bravery and insight. The first moment of bravery is building trust in the mind, which we do in meditation. When we know how to create peace in our own mind, we can transform the world.

I think there is a tendency for people to become more isolated as they move along a spiritual path. With more development, people get more isolated. Also, as they have more wealth, they get more isolated.

Our power comes not from suppressing others but from uplifting them.

If we are going to live in a society, there has to be an attitude where people really do care for others.

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.
