Way of Shambhala II - Buddhist Studies Weekday Courses
The Way of Shambhala II presents a path of meditation in secular terms. The weekend programs consist of thorough instruction in meditation, the practice of sitting and walking meditation, personal interviews, group discussions and talks by a senior teacher. Click here to see our currently scheduled programs.
The Buddhist path engages us in a balanced program of both practice and study. The Shambhala School of Buddhist Studies (SSBS) teaches the tenets of this path. The sources for these teachings come from three streams: the ancient Tibetan Buddhist lineages of the Nyingma and Kagyu, and the Shambhala teachings.
As a representation of our basic enlightened nature, the Rigden embodies the principle of unconditional bravery. Historically, Rigdens were enlightened rulers - those who could "rule their world" based on an unwavering experience of basic goodness. The "Rigden Weekend" Is a culmination of the Heart of Warriorship and the corresponding WOS courses.
