This was the basis of the legendary Kingdom of Shambhala, a society that fostered the inherent goodness of its people. We harm ourselves, each other and our planet.The Shambhala teachings offer an antidote to this crisis. This nature can be developed in daily life so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society.Īccording to the Shambhala tradition we are living through an age of greed and aggression. Shambhala Vision is rooted in the principle that every human being has a fundamental nature of basic goodness. This is open to all who are Buddhist practitioners (from any tradition) and 12 Step practitioners (from any program), or individuals interested in exploring the relationship of meditation to recovery from addiction and addictive behaviors. Meetings are anonymous and confidential and explore the relationship of addictions and recovery to our personal paths as warriors, bodhisattvas, and meditation practitioners. This meditation and discussion group brings together Shambhala Buddhist meditation practice with the Twelve Steps recovery programs. Meditation instruction with a qualified instructor is offered at these times at no charge. The open sitting meditation is for beginners and experienced practitioners.
