Shambhala

Shambhala Buddhism emerged from the teaching activity of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and later Sakyong Mipham. It blends Kagyu and Nyingma meditation with a secular-facing presentation of basic goodness, mindfulness, and enlightened society.

Centers historically offered sitting meditation, contemplative arts, and the Shambhala Training levels. The community has undergone significant organizational change; independent local sanghas and related lineages continue aspects of the practice in many cities.
