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.

If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.

If ruling our world stems from developing certainty in our sanity, how do we discover it? The Shambhala teachings instruct us to "put our mind of fearfulness in the cradle of loving-kindnes."

The nature of our mind may be displayed in many ways, but Ashe is the fundamental basis.

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

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

The first thing you have to do is acknowledge the basic and fundamental goodness of all beings. If you don't, then you are going to have conflict. That's at the core of Shambhala.
